HOW MUCH for a battery :shock:

(1/5) > >>

muddyjames:
Went into Halfrauds the other day to buy a battery for my rover 620 as it didnt like to start me car when temp was in minus figures. It is 7 years old so done a good job and was still brill in warm weather except for when the frost came it moaned about working. So bought one of those at £45.

Disco on other hand moand at about 5 degreesc and below. It really puts up a fight but so far I have one each battle to start the disco. In Halfrauds to get a battery and at £75 I declined that chance to buy one. There must be somewhere I can get a bog standard disco battery for a 300tdi for under 375 or is that about right? At the mo I have my old rover 620 battery indoors in the warm all charged upready to jump start the disco if the need arrises! Kind of relying on a friendly person to jump start me when I am out and about if it ever happens. Most of the time the engine is warm and warmed the battery up by the next time I need to start it. Just hope it doesnt snow just yet :lol:

I dont think Santa can carry a battery in his sleigh. Poor old rudolph may struggle!!!

I had this problem with mine. I checked the battery and it was OK. The problem actually was the glow plugs - only one of the 4 was working. May pay you to do a little checking first.
