Sounds like he has the wrong battery fitted. He will have to find some way of holding it down securely, an unsecured battery is dangerous and an MOT failure.

Yeah the earlier ones had a metal plate that slotted over the front lip of the battery and were then secured down by x2 12mm bolts

The later ones were a tad safer with the strap, I'm sure on some of the last ones to be made there were covers over them as well

At the last MOT before I got my T2 they made this for it to pass...

Not had a T2 before and have nothing to compare it to.

Well my 05 has a smaller looking battery than that, about normal car size I would say.
My old 2001 had the same car sized battery too.
Not saying it's wrong, just that it's quite a bit bigger than what I have seen on these before

Nah that's just a battery. Mine is off the edge of the tray
I've got a duo leisure/starter battery thing and it has no lip at the bottom so I had to make a bolt and hook system :thumb2

I've got this exact battery from these guys and it fits nice and snug and has plenty juice

Even though it's a leisure battery it's been built to withstand almost complete dischgarge and re-charge, it's an animal of a battery :thumb2
