It's just a battery. Bosch if you want to keep it German. Anything else if you don't care!

that's only due to them making more money on selling the excide to you rather than bosch  :smiley:

What about Halford.
Their batteries have 3, 4 and 5 year warranty, pay more for heavy duty and get 5 years warranty.
I have been using them on all my cars, and they seem to be very good. No problems.
The heavy duty versions seem to crank the engine over better in the cold weather.

Have a look: http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-blades-batteries/car-batteries

Just out of interest, to the moderators that is, is it ok to post links?  :nerd:


My Red MK5 "Terry" is a work in progress.

But Red is the only colour worth having. I did have a Black MK1, what was I thinking!
