sawman Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I fear my Battery is needing change, its not completely dead, but is stuggling to keep up on datk rainy days. So rather than get stranded I'll replace. Does anyone know what size? and any recommendations before I just head to Halfords? The car is 2007 3.0R Also is there any special precautions I need to take when changing the Battery - the last car I changes the Battery on was a Morgan, with a CVH carb engine - so no electronic systems to worry about Cheers s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart360 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Eurocarparts Think mine is a varta £80 odd quid It would have been about the same from Hallfords with my discount, If you go web searching it will be about £60-80 depending on brand + delivery Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Buy locally from motor factors, make sure buy one with 3 or 4yr warranty. keeping receipt & using local supplier means it easy make most of warranty . think your Battery model is 005 but look on your Battery & see if can see a code number. Banner or Yuasa brand is my favourite these days, we get very little issue on those & use them for most Battery jobs we done over last 8yrs. Cost is indeed around £70 region I expect .

sawman Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Cheers, am i going to have to re enter alarm or radio codes? Or is there enough residual charge in systems to keep things ticking over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmamba Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I bought a Enduroline 005L from Tayna batteries in Feb; cost about £60 delivered to my door. Seems fine so far. Claims to carry a 4 year guarantee - remains to be seen. Had no problems with codes during/after changeover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 worse case scenario is radio code pending on what radio you got. also don't leave keys in car with door shut, some alarms & some scenarios can lock doors when power reconnected, then you locked out & trying find your spare key .
