Was told around £400.00 for a 2009 V8V at main dealers.

Thanks...
Sorry...I should have said, AMW quoted £350 all in. Looking at battery prices, around £200 for the battery so I suppose it is two hours labour?

Dont pay main dealer.Easy to do yourself.
At present GSF have a 35% discount code SPRING35.Use this to buy a bosch or similar quaility battery. Should be around £75.00.
Then fit it yourself.Code runs out today!!!!!!!!!!

A DB9 battery is about 27kg. It's bloody heavy!

It's the hardest thing I have ever done with any aspect of motor DIY. My problem was that the battery was stone dead so I couldn't mover the drivers seat forward from its 'As far back as possible' position.

I will never try this again...dealer every time....

Thanks everyone...I really don't have patience to do it myself....also, I don't want to take a risk the electric glitches that might follow once the battery is disconnected
