May need a new battery ... still got one with a BMW sticker in the boot so it's done well.

Any suggestions on a replacement. It's bleeding massive!

Changed my original one about 6 months ago, it was starting to lose charge.
Replaced it with a Bosch S5, as I do with all my cars.
Currently zedless :(

AND, if you just sit on the site with your chosen battery on screen, after 5 mins a pop up window will tempt you with 5% off :)

If you buy on-line, how do you get rid off the old one ? Isn't it supposed to be an exchange thing ?

ECP were running a £5 refund, and most scrap metal dealers will give you at least that..
