Weak Battery

[Rufstuf]

Starts are starting to sound a little weak in the cold weather. Can anyone recommend where to buy a replacement, cheaper than Reno/kwik fit etc?
My local Euro car parts dont have any in stock.

I'll be getting a Halfords Heavy Duty Calcium battery with a 4 year gurantee for mine in the next couple of days. Got a trade account if you're interested Mark!

 

[Rufstuf]

Any idea of a price for that John?

 

[Djw John]

Nope but will let you know, about half the normal price I think

 

[Rufstuf]

Sounds good matey, keep me posted

wilco fast fit weret he cheapest by miles when i bought one for the audi, about 60 for the exide heavy duty 4yr warranty one, that was a big battery too, clio must be smaller so less wonga

 

[Dcds4]

warranty was good too, after 3 years it packed up as i didnt use the car for 2 years and wouldnt hold charge, got a brand new one

Aye they should do it no problem, will test it and depending on the result give you a new one.

Probably due to it standing not being used for various reasons over the last year or so.

 

[Djw John]

Was £50 Mark, that was for the heaviest duty bugger that'll fit

Im sure it would be possible to get a much cheaper one than that

 

[Djw John]

Was too big, ended up only costing £40!
