1987 Volvo 740GL battery
Discussion
Hi all,
Just a quick question, would be most grateful if anyone could help me out.
Me & a friend have just bought a 1987 Volvo 640 GL (manual) for various things that we need a large vehicle for this year (mainly because our football club's season is about to start & no one has a big enough car to take various bits of equipment).
The problem with the car is that it needs a new battery. Is there a specific model/type of battery we need to buy or can we just buy any one? (not mechanically minded as you can tell).
Thanks for any help in advance,
Matt.

hello
I believe just a standard car battery will work. but always good to get a decent battery. I use the Yellow Optima 6 packs in the T4 but on the T5 I have Freedom Delco
Hope that helps

Halfords will also be able to help you. Just ask them. A local Tyre and battery place may be better or a local garage. Most places are better than halfords

Thanks alot, just was getting a bit worried because nobody I know has a trailer to tow it home but as I can just buy a standard one that helps immensely as I can bring my mate's dad who will fit it for us as he services his own cars.Slo
Thanks alot for your help.
