Where to get a TD5 battery?

(1/3) > >>

thermidorthelobster:
The battery needs replacing on my '99 TD5.  The local motor factors sold me one but it was much smaller than the original;  then they changed it for a larger one, but that was just too big to fit in the tray.  Halfords were out of stock, and theirs didn't look to be quite the same size / shape as the original one either.  LR dealer can do me one for £121, and Challenger also have them for £110 / £140 depending on which exact battery I want, but I was sort of expecting to get one for about £70-80.

I'd like to get one to match the original as the battery tray is obviously designed to exactly fit it, so it won't end up moving around.  The original is rated 110Ah incidentally.  Any suggestions on where to get one?  Surrey/Hants/Berks border ideally.

Thanks, David

you could try a tractor dealer or similiar they may have what your looking for, the only ones i can think of off the top of my head are golf and turf in wokingham, d and s tractors which i think are near arborfield or roger hunts near hartley wintney

I've just bought 2 Numax batteries from http://www.tayna.co.uk/catalog/586/0/MarineBoat-Batteries-Numax-Sealed-Marine-Batteries-page1.html

2 Delivered to my door for £151.56

thermidorthelobster:
I've learned it's apparently a Group 31 battery.  Crazymac, your website shows these up in the search results but the product pages then don't refer to it, which is a bit offputting, particularly given the return postage costs...  I'll keep hunting, at least I have a few leads now.  Thanks.

I juts got mine from Halfords.

If they are out of stock you can just ask them to get one in.
