I went for a bosch s4 in the end as I managed to pick one up from my local ecp. With the black friday discount code I got it for £59.

005 is correct.
I went for 054 Nissan micra battery, weight saving FTW. Without the drawbacks of oydessey

I think the codes are interchangeable, one is Bosch, the other someone else's code for same battery.
