| battery prices I thought id inquire about a price for a battery for my Colour I think the garage is trying it on as I got quoted £85 fitted ha!ha! I was looking at change from £40 what is the going rate to pay these days? I have'nt bought a battery for a few years - last 1 I got was a heavy duty one for a german car and even it was'nt that price and it was a Bosch I think.

| A Panda with Gadget's  | Re: battery prices I paid about £50 for the biggest and best battery I could get for the 750L. It was a top of the range Bosh Battery (A Bosh Silver I think). And that was fully fitted (not that its hard in a Panda, lol). £80 is very much taking the P! Jon.

 | Re: battery prices got one last year when i nearly got round to putting the car back on the road (then didn't).That was only about 40 quid, and that was just from Halfords. Of course it was only after I got it that I realised it wasn't the battery at fault at all, my charger had packed up  Still got the old one if you're anywhere near Glasgow. If not, probably cheaper buying eh.

 I done the same with the 750L, got a new batt due to starting problems, to find it sorted it for about 2 weeks and then started doing the same. It turned out the points and HT leads needed doing in the end  Jon.

| Re: battery prices Thats encouraging Alan £18 I like the sound of that m8- I wish the price of our wages were going up ha!ha! Going to phone around a few motor factors on Monday plenty of them up here so competition for business means competitive prices I hope.
