Standard fit on diseasels is the 096 type which is also the heavy duty for the petrols. The battery tray just about accommodates the 096 which is about 60mm shorter. If it's a few years old already then it's probably past its best, without knowing the alternator output voltage and whether it covers all the load the car can put on it, you still don't know for sure if it's charging.

You'd probably be better off getting the Hellfrauds battery i linked to as a starting point, at least that will eliminate the battery as being the problem. Chances are that Yuasa battery is sulphated and most warranties don't cover sulphation as it's outside their control.

Don't let yourself be talked into a calcium battery at Hellfrauds, they won't last long on a car that doesn't have the right alternator!
It fits the battery tray perfectly and is exactly the same size as the battery which it had originally. Plus the cover which goes over it is a perfect fit too.
