I'm not on about a AA either!

Need a new one for my escort as its given up on me. Where would be the best place to get a new one? Fords? Motor Factors or dare I say it - Halfrauds?

If you know someone with a Halfords Trade Card then Halfords will be cheapest. My mate has one and i got almost 50% off a battery by using it

Alright mate! Long time no speak!

I'll ask about a few lads at work to see if anyone has one.
