I got a Bosch Asian Silver from Costco for my WRX03 for about £36 and has a 3 or 4 year warranty. Not much help if you can't get access into Costco though.

See if you have a Partco branch near you, if you do the Unipart batteries they supply are made by Bosch and have a 4 year warranty.

If you are based in South Wales or Slough area let me know as I still have some contacts in either area who should sort you out a decent price, as in a lot cheaper than halfrauds .
