I have gotten several answers and the Optima site itself says there is no model for a disco 1. I have a 98' Disco.   Steve Cooper (Scrover) Senior Member Username: Scrover Post Number: 489 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, September 08, 2003 - 01:15 pm:    D34/78-1050   pdx_rover (Pdx_rover) New Member Username: Pdx_rover Post Number: 4 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Monday, September 08, 2003 - 01:41 pm:    Thanks Steve. Is this just a drop-in replacement, or will some mods need to be made?

Excellent price. Getting the old one out was a bitch, needed four strong hands. Optima 75/35 went in perfect after installing the included spacer, which raises the battery about 1/2 inch. Also the top bracket needed to be spread a bit to accomodate the shape of the Optima. -jamie
