Car Battery

Morning All!

I think the battery on my car has definately passed its sell by date as my car is struggling to start on these cold winter mornings (twice in last 5 days i've had to push start it!!!)

Anyone recommend anywhere for cheapest batteries? Its for a '97 Fiesta Encore Diesel

Cheers

You really need to look locally, as the weight and nature of the contents don't make them so easy or cheap to ship.

Don't go to halfords or a dealership, grab the yellow pages and look under "batteries" and ask a few companies for prices. Tell them the model and year of car and they should suggest the right battery.

Don't forget to ask for a fitted price if you don't want to get your hands dirty.

And make sure you have any radio codes to hand before it's done

Makro are usually cheap for batteries.make sure the guarantee on any you buy is at least 3 years.There is a reason some only have a 1 year guarantee and that is because that is how long it is expected to last.

Partco - they've got branches nationwide so should be one near you. Definately don't go to Halfords or similar. Other cheap places would be a car electrical/ fuel injection specialist as they often stock batteries. You should get a fiesta battery for around £25

I found Costco to be the cheapest, and they come with a five year guarantee.
