OK I have just bought the one below. Delivery fast and battery as described. £105 delivered - an extra £10 because of my postcode sneaked in at the end!

The replacement feels a shade lighter when I lifted it than the original LR one but the spec. is higher 950 CCA as opposed to to 850 CCA.
HDC fault errors on cold starting have gone but its mild today 8C. I will have to wait till the next cold spell to be sure.
Interestingly the hidden inputs screen now reads 13.5 V with the engine running and stays at this reading with all electrical loads on. Previously with the old battery it read 14.5 Volts and dropped down to 13.5 Volts under load.

Hi Dave,
How are you getting on with the new battery? I have not heard of the make Enduroline.
Had the HDC fault, lowering of suspension, etc this morning out of the blue on the A90 on the way up to Aberdeen around Stonehaven. Quite scarry stuff to happen at around 60mph! I think that I am still on the original battery, now 7 years old, so not bad. Car always starts first time though!
So time for a battery change.
Any advice/recommendations welcome.
Thanks,

I have been getting the HDC / Special programs off most morning but it is turning over fine and the error messages dont return after a journey and battery gets some charge.
I might replace it soon though as it is mega cold right now and the weather looks like it will last for a bit longer. If I change the battery myself is there anything i need to worry about, looks like a straight forward job ? Will the car go back to normal settings or do i need any codes for it etc ?
thanks
Jk
