[s-cars] Correct battery for C4?

[Robert Rossato]

A size 42 is also an option that may be easier to find.  It is a shorter
battery (~2 inches) with less capacity, but otherwise practically the
same as a type 41 in height, width, and post arrangement.  It was spec'd
for the smaller VWs.  May not have the oomph on really cold morning
starts, but it's another option.

Group size 48 is approximately 1" taller than either the 41 or 42, so I
wouldn't recommend going that route, especially for an under seat
installation.
