    I got a gel battery from GM Stevens and I'm impressed. Well worth the bit extra £££.

    All sorted now folks. Really wanted to give my business to the local guys (GM Stevens) but the battery shop was just soooooo much cheaper and as I was in Swindon anyway it was a no brainer.

    Thanks for the tip Grey Haired Bloke and Hondafan ��

    A good place to get battery's from is a garden machinery supplier, they use them for their mowers etc. Usually quite a bit cheaper.

    we always use The Battery Shop.....as the advert says, if they haven't got it, can't get it or can't make it you don't need it..........
