I got my Bosch from EuroCarParts a couple of months ago, In store it was £83, If you reserve online you can pick one up for £70, If you buy via Amazon from them with free delivery it's £62. I thought I would pop in to see if I can buy one for the £62 Nope!! The best they can do over the counter is £83! Not even £70! Told them I would get one via Amazon as in no rush!! Got back to office to order, checked their ebay shop and it's £56 for which they can deliver or I can drive back around the corner again and collect it!!!
Made them deliver!! lol

Got a new battery Exide battery for my 05 wrx about 4 weeks ago.

Paid £68 for it from Batteries 2 you on the internet (Link below)

http://www.battery2u.co.uk/Exide---005TE-.aspx

It is a slightly higher capacity battery than standard with 65 AH AND 580 CCA

Last battery was a Bosch one which only lasted 4 years. Hope this one lasts longer.

I would recommend a Yuasa 5000 Silver battery with 5 year guarantee.
Cost £67.00.
