Look in yellow pages under car/commercial electrics as the commercial type places will get you a better deal.

thanks tabetha didn't think of that
been quoted nearly £100 at a local high street shop
seems a bit much for a battery even if there is alot of electric stuff

halfords tends to do the best deals round this way
4 year no quibble warranty
£67
even after a 6 week lay up, car started first turn of the key

can't ask for anything more than that

I still have a 100AH battery of my old d reg sierra that is still going strong BANNER make, after 12 years, was from a MERC OFF ROAD WAGON THING.
I had to cut the end of the battery tray off to get it to fit, as it was massive, I bought it as was annoyed at having to leave my lights on at g/f all night and the car not starting, but went a bit overboard!!
