Bought a new battery tonight.... Follow on...
« on: October 24, 2012, 04:49:26 pm »
Hi all after buying a bat tonight it was bigger than the original standard bat and the fabric cover didn't fit the new one.. Is there casing I can buy? Will the cold take any effect being open?

I'd imagine click and collect with a discount code off Euro Car Parts would be cheaper. It should tell you which OEM or OEM equivalents are right for your car :happy2:

Yup the  battery in the link above will fit your car as it's the standard length and width.

Ended up getting the Bosch S5 one. Halfords stung me £110 but didn't have a choice.. Nothing else on their shelf was big enough for 2.0. Arses!!
