Key Plip Battery Replacement

Hi I am new to this, but a fan of Martin Lewis, he has saved a fortune, and I see there are a lot of money saving ideas, so I thought I would tell you a small but money saving idea.

My key battery was not letting me in and I went to the dealer who quoted me over £8.50 for two batteries.

I went away thinking I will save a bit at the Halfords, but they were £6.00, which I bought and fitted easily.

I then got talking to my mate who was putting my car down, and he said I should look on ebay, they are really cheap, and sure enough a quick search revealed I could have saved a fortune.

You won't get rich on the savings but nor will the dealer !

:money:
