    Motor factors sell new batteries. That Bosch is very reasonable. Wonder if its supposed to be that price.

    Is yours hatch or saloon?

    ...or any decent auto-electrician. Often a good bet as they have the gear to properly test a Battery.
    Handy if you have any problems with the new one....usually at least 1 year's warranty.

    Saloon civic. May be that they haven't had it in stock for while, and that's the price it was when it was in stock a while back. And they cant be bothered updating the price as it's not in stock

    Seems to be the same one here. Free postage to Parcel Motel, About €60 including Parcel Motel fee for item over 10KG. They have a warning about delivery area though so may be an issue delivering to Northern Ire.

    Battery arrived from Amazon to Parcel Motel, they just charged me the standard €3.50, so that's €60 all in for a good Bosch battery

    That's good going. You wouldn't have wanted to be stuck for it though.

    That's a good deal. I paid 75 I think for my last battery.
