New Battery

BigA:
Hi all, i need a new battery for my 300 TDI disco. Halfrauds and local supplier quoting £89.95 for standard battery? if that's the price then so be it, but paddocks are doing a red top Optima at the moment, and this would be £116.00 including delivery, so this made me think that thats a bit steep fort a standard battery?

so, any recommendations on a battery supplier please?

Cheers,

Andy

Got one from Part Co in 2006 for £42.

Got mine fitted by main dealer a few weeks ago, £10 more expensive than Halfords standard battery plus I think it's a higher aH rating, but they washed and valeted the car as well.

Hi there,

I have bought a couple of batteries in the past two years for the 300tdi and the v8 and havent paid more than around £40 from the local motor factors. Both were heavy duty and I cannot imagine you would need to pay more than this.

Regards Remmy7.

due to the value of lead, prices of most batteries has increased about 30% in the last few months.
