    Fair enough but the way I was reading it from your op you made it sound like I was talking out of my !!!!.

    how can i make an assumption like that based on something you saw that can never be proven, like what i saw,you could never prove it.

    i was just offering another story.

    what car is it that you have that can't be jump started with jump leads for future refernce anyway?

    Just this week had to buy a new battery for my 2.5 litre V6 Mondeo.

    From Costco £56
    From Halfords £99.99 Both prices include VAT

    Exactly the same battery, Bosch. Only difference Halfords offer 5 year guarantee, Costco 4 years.

    Additionally Halfords charge around a fiver to fit.

    To buy from Costco you have to be a member. Anyone can join and further benefit from a huge range of savings. Including Michelin tyres.
