Unhappy WHERE SHOULD I GO FOR A NEW BATTERY?

MY UK 98 Turbo - with a flat battery! It has been going for a while so it is definately this. I need it kind of sharpish. Where should I go for a quick, cheap job? I do not mind doing it myself if I have to but really need it today. Halfords, Kwik Fit? What should I be expecting to pay?

Same happened to mine. Replacement about £48 from Halfords, sealed unit guarenteed for 3 years. very easy to fit.

Get the right ampere hour rating. Phone round for some prices. The guarantee period is important depending on how long you are keeping the car. Try your motor factors who supply the trade. eg Andrew Page and compare it with exhaust or tyre depots and Halfords.
