  1. Here's a weird one

    I'm looking around for a new battery ...... Yuasa YB16AL-A2
    and the price from Tayna has dropped 3 times in the past few days
    .... started at £58 plus post , then £53 this morning
    and just as I'm about to place an order , it's down again .... now £49.95 !!

    Their Ebay shop was showing 10 in stock earlier today , but now showing none
    .... still available via their website though .

    Note -
    The Yuasa is dearer than the Varta equivalent , but has higher CCA rating
    ( 200 A vs. 180 A ) .

  3. My shit heap of a car needed a new battery, I got the uprated one at £92, but because I had the halfords card @£15 as a subscriber, the battery came in at £47. the upgraded membership subscription has paid for itself many times over for me

  7. This mind boggles. :thinkingface:
     
  8. what boggles your mind bro?
     
  9. I too have found Tayna a good alternative. My kit car uses a US battery and they were the cheapest by a long way compared to what US car parts suppliers were asking. Being a US battery it's not a common stock item for many battery dealers.
     
  10. did you mean "rob" nobbie? :)
     
  11. Yeah sorry chris, I wasn't sure if he was refereing to the amount of discount the halfords membership card gave or my shit heap of a car :upyeah:

  15. No, the figures are common for that size of battery. If you can find one with a higher cold cranking amp rating, then it would be better. Andy

  16. Ahh cheers andy that’s cca cold cranking amp
     
  17. Check this type out at Halfords (this is for an 848/1098/1198 so physically too big for you), but they should do one in your size too.
