Bosch from Euro Car Parts, they've usually always got a sale of something on.
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.

If you know someone with a Halfrauds trade card one of their own brand AGM type is £125. Remember a new battery will need coding as well.

I've heard that Bosch batteries are just the same as any other batteries, and actually re-badged Vartas.

I had a good experience with Tanya, worth a try.
