    Hey, bit of **** story here which makes me furious.
    Had NCT due this Saturday, car battery died and doesnt' hold charge anymore, if I was to jump start it, it would most likely die right at NCT center.

    So I ordered a car battery from micks garage for 95 euro (with 1-2 day delivery) on Monday, today I called An Post and turns out my item is damaged and wont be delivered until next week.

    I had to rechedule my NCT booking for September (Closest available date apparently) and pay 22 Euro charge.

    I will most likely try and cancel my order since there is no hurry anymore.

    Is there any suggestions as to where I could get car battery for cheaper than 95 euro in Dublin?

    Car:
    VW Golf Mk4 - 2001 - 1.4.


    Thanks.

    Halfords are €65/€70 I think.

    Look online for a discount voucher!

    The battery is one place where spending more is better in the long run :)

    Well, apparently An Post delivered today my car battery, it's fine and not broken.
    Such a bunch of assholes working at it, yesterday they told me it was broken and they wont deliver it until next week so I recheduled my NCT, and today it arrives.

    Such a mess.

    At least it's decent battery - BOSCH and car works now.

    Thanks guys.
