Question

Is the Battery in the scoob standard, or like everything else on this car I have to go to a specialist? It's a MY96 UK Turbo.

It's been on the way out for a while but now it's not started twice.

Cheers

Managed to get a battery from Halfauds (?), they did have to order it as the one listed was not the same. I have a 96 Turbo aswell.

Best to go there and get them to order EXACTLY the battery that is in the car and I had 2/3 trips back to collect the "correct" battery.

Cheers

Alex

PS

Mine is a VARTA

Cheers for the advice

My friend, luckily has just written of his Vauxhall Vectra so I put the one out of that in it this morning, as it didn't start again. Seems to have done the trick and starts better than all the time I've had the car. It appears to be a different size though!
