buying a new battery

[Spongebob 172]

just after some advice really.....18 months ago i bought a battery from halfords for the clio,but stupidly i got the wrong one and they would not change it as i only realised this 6 months ago,so my question is what battery do i need,where can i get them from and how much are they....thanks in advance

pretty sure i've got an 065 battery from a motor factor such as gsf. bosch will get you a 3/4 year warranty.

You want a 063 or equivilant... dont go to halfrauds there a rip off for batterys! a 3 year 063 is about £35 usually
