Need a new battery!
« on: December 16, 2013, 11:56:29 am »
Can anyone suggest a place/price for a new battery?

I have tried halfords and they want £90-£120!

Mine is struggling to start the car every time even after a full charge!

Thanks in advance!

I got this one just recently, excellent service and battery all good so far (5 year warranty included):

Try carparts4less.co.uk - I ordered a battery last week and it was substantially cheaper than the more well-known  outlets, next day delivery too.

Car parts 4 less website is very similar to Eurocarparts... bet they own them... (not saying that's a bad thing just looks identical)

Can anyone beat the Tayna price?

VARTA (OEM Battery)
Capacity:    77 Ah
CCA:    780 A
Guarantee:    5 Years
£71.95 delivered

The closest Bosch one (74 Ah) is nearly £90...

Another vote for Tayna here. Had a couple from them in recent times. Good service :) worth getting the 'uprated' one
