Unfortunately my battery has been slowly dying even after recharging it last week, but this morning I went to start my car (vw polo 2001 6n2) and it just didn't want to start while my MOT is TOMORROW! Does anyone have an idea of what battery I should replace/upgrade it with?!

A Bosch or Varta from your local Costco or Euro Car Parts will do the job

Thanks for that, i got the top battery for mine from halfords for pretty much the same price as the middle battery thanks to a trade card winkbiggrin

On the Halfords website (and most others) you enter your reg number & it lists the compatable batteries. Somewhat surprising that a trade card holder does not know such basic information !!

bowron- note you're in Leics. Possibly too far away, but in Hinckley there's a place called Britannia tyres. Last time I and daughter needed a battery ,we found Britannia cheaper by far than other places.
