Default Best local place for new Battery?

Getting fed up of my knackered battery, battery so I'm going to bite the bullet and get a new one.

Can anyone suggest somewhere local to check prices. Was going to give FMP a call this afternoon and see what they can do.

Cheers, Rich.

Thanks for the offer Merv, I have found a Varta blue on my doorstep for £56. Couldn't have made the meet as I'm sick as a pig at the moment.

Text me the details ie petrol/diesel and what type of posts are on top of the battery and I'll sort out a price for you.
