Here you go.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3116017237...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It's a 175mm high 096 battery. By far the best price for this type og battery with a 4-year warranty. I've just got one for my 45td 2.0 diesel. |

I bought a Yuasa battery for mine (link below), it is a calcium type though. Other than me flattening it when I first got it, it has been excellent.

Give Tayna batteries a try.
Next day delivery, so you'll have it Friday. They've always price-matched the best price I've found online too. And Bosch batteries are made by Varta. So look for the equivalent Varta battery to the Bosch range and save yourself loads of money. Same warranty too. |
