only battery fixing nuts in my microcat for a Td5 D2 are flanged nut M6 part FN106047L, with either J bolts AMR5280 or straight bolts AMR5735

Sorry western I should have been more specific. I an after the terminal nut and captive bolt. Not the actual battery securing clamp.

ah, that helps, microcat only shows the battery cables as a assembly, it doesn't list the bolt/nut as seperate parts.

any suitable sized bolt/nut will do as a replacement.

As Ralph has said, in the post above, they're not available separately, you have to buy complete new positive and negative battery leads, at great expense

IMO, the type of battery clamps Land Rover use are cr@p

A heavy-handed gorilla of a previous owner had over-tightened the ones on mine and they were no longer able to clamp the battery posts tight enough.

I cut the connectors off of the ends of the battery cables and crimped on tube terminals with a 10mm hole, I can't remember if I used 25mm² or 35mm² terminals (there's about a foot of snow on my car at the moment, so I'm not going outside to have a look ) -

and used these on the battery posts -
