Wonder if it was the starter dead shorting and thats taken the battery out too ?
Use the warranty,although a starter and a battery aint big cash..

Could be Gaz, although the surge protector, I'm assuming that's what it is, in the boot before the battery is fine.

Have you had to register the new battery to the car John?

I've just read the title!!!!
Probably a £75 job from Eurocarparts as well
I would still like to know what that "crack" was tho!

Euro wanted over £140 for a 3 year warranty battery, picked one up in Halfords, not their own brand, for £115 with a 5 year warranty, should have been £128 but it was on the wrong shelf, I think the lady took pity on the oxygen tank...
I'm 99% sure the crack was the battery shorting, I think it dropped a cell and shorted as i went to start the car the last time.
