Cheers Dean

Will give him a shout monday.

I popped into the independent car place Ruxley Auto Centre to see if he had a battery yesterday. He did have them and said he supplies TVR Fix with their batteries.... I bet he doesn't charge them £90 for a battery though! yikes

I kindly reminded him there was a credit crunch on... I didn't purchase... am I being tight? paperbag £90 for a standard battery seems excessive?

Make sure your battery leads are long enough before you get that one as the terminals are reversed from the original.
