Do what I did. Used the old one off my wife's 2.4 diesel Alfa. It was getting a little lazy in the really cold weather on the Alfa but still spinning daughters 206 like a sowing machine 18 months later. It is quite a bit longer than the standard battery but still fits and nothing will stop this car starting!
70Ah and 760CCA. Starts like a demon. I think you could probably drive it a few miles just on the starter.
