type 44 battery location was( Fuse Amperage??? for a fuse beween the battery and the car)

    Hi Kneale, all

    I know this risks looking picky, but so as not to start a misconception,
I have to say not all type 44's have the battery under the seat. I think it
may just be the turbo models.
    Certainly my '89 100 NA Avant has it under the rear of the bonnet on the
opposite side to the fuse/relay box.

    Cheers,

rob
