shopping for a nice new battery

Posted: Sat May 24, 2014 2:08 pm

....For my 2.6......always done great with Bosch S5 battery, but struggling to work out what I need in the cabby......one site says an S5 100 type 007 is right another says no its a 096!

And prices all over the place....eurocarparts....who won't discount it because they claim its in a sale at £96 for type 007......but online I've got them as low as £78 delivered on one site.......IF its the right one!! Any ideas people????

Hi got my new battery from the RAC and if you're a member they come and fit it free at your home address/work etc and it was a great price.

What's a great price lol???!! And what was it for ya cabby or the a6.....thinking I want more power over the original battery and in the past RAC just used bog standard batteries? An S3 battery is like half the cost of the 5's.....and a good 20% down on power too....

Unlike my B5....that's a nightmare to change....the cabby is right up front so a doddle to swap I'd say....
