Elite Car Battry Replacemnt?
« on: 22 May 2008, 00:04:11 »
3.0 Elite.

What size battery do I need for renewing the knackered one.

Currently fitted with an 065, is this the standard size?

TIA  :y

I bought a 72A for mine as that's what had been on the car to start with & Vx agreed.

They're might be physically smaller but Vx's batteries are smaller in the pocket when using a Trade Club card!  ;) IIRC a little over £50

Not bad.

2 Car Spares places have quoted me £60 for a 72 amp battery today.

Even better.

1 Shop quoted me for a 1 Tear Warranty

the other was for 3 Years.

Would have Never thought I would be getting one of Vauxhalls battery's cheaper than the spares shops.

Have just rung the Rotherham Vx Dealers for a battery.  

Asked for a 72 Amp Battery.

They said it would be a 70 Amp.

Retail £130

Trade Club £80 Plus Vat

Have I missed something here.

Cheers Jimbob

Rotherham has no batterys in stock till Saturday.

Sheffield has 6 in stock and the retail price quoted was £67.00

I feel I know who I trust.  Seem's the Rotherham Group are a bit cheeeeeeeky with the prices.
