005, 005L are the basic codes for what you need, Ebay, Eurocar Parts, local motor factors should be able to help. Prices usually £39 - £100 depending on the make of the battery mate.

The Exide ones have a four year guarantee, but aren't cheap.

Yes exide premium has a 4 year warranty but also has thicker plates than the Bosch etc so is a real good battery for starting / cold cranking

I've just bought a Yuasa silver 5000 battery with a 5 year guarantee for £67.00 from my local motor factors

Check Halfords prices!
