Suffering form the old resetting computer lark. Doesn't hold charge very long. If I leave it for a few days battery is almost dead!

Has been like this for 2 years

Not sure about the one in the link. I know costco sell bosch batteries and they are usually well priced.

Mine died on me after the trip computer had been reseting itself for a couple of months lol, died right outside halfords and as I had no tools in the car I got a Halfords Calcium jobby (fitted - eventually...) for £70 the boy was a complete tool, I said let me do it - give me a socket extension and he replied a What?! - doh

In your position I'd goto a motor factors / euro car parts / GSF and pick one up for less as said. ECP have a Bosch for £35 (45AH, 420A)

Halfords are shocking for batteries. you generally find that the longer the guarantee period, the more expensive they are. Bosch don't have the greatest rep. for batteries (that i've heard - no experience though). another possible source is an actual main dealer (doesn't matter which manufacturer, so long as you buy a type 063), as they can be pretty well priced as well
