New battery

[frs0_0]

where is the best place to find a battery for a R reg 1000cc arosa? Are they just standard from halfords?

yeah I got mine from halfords, it was about 60 quid i think

Oooh! That's quite a kick in the pants! Surely you can pick them up for less than £60!? I only paid £450 for my car!

What about a local auto parts shop? Or somewhere like Costco?

Go to any parts shop and tell them the make/model and get a price. Its called 'Shopping around' like when you're buying anything SOP.

well i looked on ebay but they were all about that price, it has to be the right battery otherwise it wont fit on the tray properly

Anybody else find that ebay is getting overpriced now!?

It used to be normal people selling decent stuff at low prices... But now it's all small businesses selling cheap stuff at high prices! And everything is 'Buy it now' or 'Best Offer' so there's less chance of you grabbing a bargain!

Look around your local small motor shops mate... Or a quick google for "Seat Arosa Battery" found this. Delivery is £9.99 or free if you collect it yourself form their depot at Nuthall or Kirkby...
