I have just fitted the larger of the two sizes you mentioned, to make life a lot easier remove the panel that lies in front of the battery, comes off very easily, much more room to play with.

Thanks all. Going to take a bigger one 
Unfortunately, the article on the main site doesn't contain the dimensions. If only someone updated the page...

Recently fitted Bosch 0 092 S30 070. Now the car starts fine at least )
And big thanks to Kenboy. I didn't know the panel is removed so easily, so even wouldn't try to this without your advise
