Vx 'GO' with TC card. Perfectly adequate.

I agree, they are about the cheapest, and are a resonable quality :y

TC card is £20. Stop effing about and get one.  The savings on the battery will get close to paying for it.

I bought the Halfords one with a 4 year g/tee for £42.21 and the reason being its the same amps as the Vauxhall one but a smaller battery so you can get at your bulbs without to much farting around :y

Dont expect it to last 4yrs.  Halfords batteries seem to have gained a bad reputation.  I think they are counting on you losing the receipt in that time.

Dont have my tc book with me but theres £15 odd a difference on the battery for 3/3.2 omegas.

The rest of the savings will be more than met when you buy oil and filters to service the Miggy.. ;)

I've got TC... can you work out how many first class stamps are needed to post the battery to you?  :P

Seriously, the GO battery is good value even at retail price...

When my battery died in June I pulled it out and took it to work (Halfords at the time :() and sellotaped to the side of it was a very faded scrap of paper. Turned out it was the receipt for a 4 year guarantee and it had just managed only 3 years - not great for Halfords, but I was smiling all the way home!  :D

There you go Pete, tape it to the side of the battery, that way you won't lose it unless the car gets nicked :y
