Wheres the best place to go for a car battery? I went online and halford wanted £100!!! Having a laugh there I think. Oh and if you know anywhere thats open all day saturday that would be great lol

Local motor factors are usually the best

Euro car parts are quite good usually. Googled this for your area but no idea how close it is lol!

Cheers, can't get to Telford until after they close lol ill just wait until Monday and go to manbat I thnk

I got mine from Apha Batteries - http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk

 

Their code for the CORRECT battery for the Z32 is U030 and if you have the original battery box, it fits PERFECTLY. Moreover, it's black, so it doesn't look like some sort of eyesore. I bought mine in March 2011 and it's still going strong, depsite running flat over the winter due to lack of use. It's now charged again and holds it perfectly.

 

A great battery considering my 'temporary use' of my Z.

 

It cost me £49.99 and that's delivered! Price may have increased a little, but you won't find any cheaper. I wouldn't hesitate in buying one again as it comes with a 4 year warranty too!

Ebay was the cheapest, go for a Bosch S4 or S5.

£65 on there funkysi. Ill wait Neil Monday as online will take too long. Getting a Vargas battery from manbat for £40, just means no driving for 2 days. Can treat her to a wash and polish instead ;-) haha

Neil Monday?? Where the hell did that come from:blushing: stupid ipad with stupid auto correct *until Monday*

Local motor factors are usually the best

 

Agreed - I bought one for my old red ZX for much less than £100 - more like £50-ish IIRC

Well ive got a couple of mates who are checking on prices tomorrow with staff discount and trade etc. One at halfords and one at eurocar parts. I rekon ill still get it cheaper at manbat ;-) haha

Yeah and be careful with that scuttle panel when you fit it!!

or try Euro Car Parts... they do a next day delivery

What's the battery number that should go on the zed? I'm not near my car at the moment and won't be near it untill Monday morning, a friend wants it to check the price.... Thannkkkssss :-)

costco if you can. they sell bosh ones with a good warranty

bosch even

Just so you know I got my battery froma mate who works at halfords. Ended up getting this one for £53 http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_264181_langId_-1_categoryId_165762

This is what I pay from halfords. You may already know this; but anyone in the engineering, motor trade etc is entitled to a halfords trade card. All trade based consumables, ie batteries, windscreen wipers, paint, brakes etc, the trade card will get you upto 2/3 off the ticket price.

 

Worth doing with the demise of the high street motor factors. That goes for any type of engineering including Armed Forces branches.

In the boot :w00t:

I bought a Bosch the other week off eBay, £64 :)
