Battery Opinions Please!!

[Brikhead]

When I was after a battery for my old dieseasel Vectra the cheapest place I could source one from was my local Vauxhall dealer. Not only were they the cheapest but they offered the longest warranty.
Go in and ask for a quote, when they tell you the price put a pained expression on your face accompanied by a sharp intake of breath and say that you would really prefer to use original quality parts but you can't afford the cost...
If you are nice and polite with them then you are likely to get trade prices...


As for Halfords, I've just brought a pair of Bosch wiper blades from them for £9.50, regular price is around 18-20 squids.

I've just realised that the battery for £50.00 looks smaller then the one on my car so I think I may need this one for £65.00

Or can either one go on my car??  :-? :-?

I may be shot down in flames, but the terminals seem to be reversed on the featured batteries in the links, opposite to the standard battery. May cause problems when fitting. Apologies if I am wrong.

Ok. I will shoot myself down. I was wrong.
Teach me to post when under the influence.....you want to see the rubbish I bought on ebay at the same time.

I just wanted to finish off this topic by saying that in the end I bought a Bosch battery from euro car parts with a 4 year warranty for £63.54 all in.   .http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Vauxhall_Omega_2.2_2001/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/electrical/car-battery/?444770757&1&afa71f61376d3207c64a19b817f13895893fb545&BATT
