Looks like after 15 years and 30000 miles, PWE's original battery has given up the ghost due mainly to me leaving an interior light on for two weeks !!
So guys, what are the options?
Don't think I will be going the OPC route at £250 a battery!
Bosch S5 77Ah or something more exotic such as a gel battery?
Please let me have your recommendations?
Thanks
Stuart
 


Good call Brad but be careful where you purchase from

Halford Batterys are sourced direct from Eurocar parts. In fact amazingly and beyond belief you search Halfords car Battery and the top search on Google takes you to http://www.eurocarparts.com/car-battery?gclid=CKnO7c2B_cUCFUYTwwodR30AGA
the very supplier Halford use.[&:]

Halfords recently quoted up to FORTY PERCENT MORE more for the same Battery as supplied to them from Europarts.[:eek:]
 

15 years on the dreaded MOLL battery Stuart? That must be a record.

Perhaps it should be preserved and displayed in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.!

Yes, absolutely Jeff !
The nice manager, Mike at Halfrauds in Dereham is an ex Boxster owner and did a great job fitting a Yuasa- Bosch S5 110 battery for £111 plus a tenner to fit.
I do have a trade card so that reduced the price from £136 rrp to £111!:)
So comparing prices from Euro car parts and Ebay, I'm very pleased with that and thanks for your recommendations!
I queried why the Bosch are now Yuasa and apparently they have taken over the Bosch battery business.
