Eurocarparts if you're not already registered... they email out weekend offers and they're normally doing 50% off batteries with a code once a month or so.

Fake discounts tbh. A bit like the sale at oak furniture land.
£70 is going rate but can get Yuasa online for £57

Agreed, but it doesn't stop halfords trying to mug off the general public into paying £130 for the same thing...

Great pics at Dungeness, Scott!

I have had a Yuasa 3014 65aH for a year now with no problems - much better than the Subaru supplied Panasonic items!! Especially good when your car is used infrequently, as is mine.

Thanks Subarman.
I ended up with a Lion because excide were out of stock when I dropped in to eurocarparts. I needed to move the car, so went with what was available and that wasnt silly money.

Well after checking the radiator during a previou soil change I thought it was due to be replaced.
No sign of leakage but I was getting the occasional sweet smell of something burning off.

Another year went by without issues, other then the occasional wiff. So I gave it another check at the next oil change and spotted a subtle drip.
It easn't obvious on first inspection, but it appeared 20 mins after switch off.

So I finally had to fit a new radiator. Not bad considering car is now nearly 20 years old.
Last car I had to change a radiator on was a 1981 Fiesta Supersport, than needed one after 7 years.
