Battery is dead again... Going to get a new one today from Halfords, this seems to be the best they do for the RR

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...0&categoryId=165762&langId=-1&catalogId=10151

As for actually changing it... Read up a bit but just want to double check.

Keys out, off, leave 10 mins.
Disconnect earth lead
Leave 20 minutes
Disconnect live

Fit battery
Connect
Lock to lock to reset the steering sensors

All good?

DON'T buy it yet!! Do you have a business? Could it be construed as Fleet or mechanical repairs? If so, apply in store for a Trade Card.

Then you get a pretty good discount. It used to be a massive discount, but they were making a loss, so now it is less, but still a saving.

I can get that same battery right now for 127:95p

No worries all done! Clock reset as did the avg mpg etc.. but everything else seems fine.

If it happens again i assume its the alternator?
