Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looks like after 15 years and 30000 miles, PWE's original battery has given up the ghost due mainly to me leaving an interior light on for two weeks !! So guys, what are the options? Don't think I will be going the OPC route at £250 a battery! Bosch S5 77Ah or something more exotic such as a gel battery? Please let me have your recommendations? Thanks Stuart

POST 3Original post

Good call Brad but be careful where you purchase from Halford Batterys are sourced direct from Eurocar parts. In fact amazingly and beyond belief you search Halfords car Battery and the top search on Google takes you to http://www.eurocarparts.com/car-battery?gclid=CKnO7c2B_cUCFUYTwwodR30AGA the very supplier Halford use.[&:] Halfords recently quoted up to FORTY PERCENT MORE more for the same Battery as supplied to them from Europarts.[ ]

POST 5Original post

15 years on the dreaded MOLL battery Stuart? That must be a record. Perhaps it should be preserved and displayed in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.! Jeff

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, absolutely Jeff ! The nice manager, Mike at Halfrauds in Dereham is an ex Boxster owner and did a great job fitting a Yuasa- Bosch S5 110 battery for £111 plus a tenner to fit. I do have a trade card so that reduced the price from £136 rrp to £111! So comparing prices from Euro car parts and Ebay, I'm very pleased with that and thanks for your recommendations! I queried why the Bosch are now Yuasa and apparently they have taken over the Bosch battery business.

POST 9Original post

I've just purchased Bosch S5 110 from ECP online department Carparts4less for £86, delivered FREE [ ] ECP was £111.....! Definately pays to shop around.....
