These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

16 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, I'm not sure if my battery is on the way out. I had to ask the neighbours for a bumpstaet this morning. I'm not sure if its just due to the cold weather and not being run for a week n a half. I've seen the Bosch s4 on halfords for 115 quid is that about the going rate ans is that a good battery.

POST 2Original post

Check the prices in Europarts for Bosch batteries.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ok, is there any great difference between the s4 and the s5 bosch batteries?

POST 5Original post

Best battery S5 Best deal Europarts There are some discount codes available.

POST 6Original post

There ebay store works out even cheaper plus you can send to an address other than card holder.

POST 7Original post

+1 for Bosch. Longest lasting I've had in previous cars.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cheers guys, so far shed seems to be running but theres a bit of a hesitaion when the key is first turned. My service is in a weeks time so i might just treat myself to a new battery[ ].

POST 9Original post

@Chriscoates81, My battery is good I've load tested it. Point is if I left mine for two weeks I would not want to put money on whether it would start or not. Especially in this crap weather.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

True, but typicaly when i got on holiday albeit in summer i can happily leave the car for 2 weeks and it will start up no problem.

POST 11Original post

Yeah, but as you said big difference in the temp outside right now.

POST 12Original post

I'd go with the Bosch S5, do they have a ECP close to you?

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yea ive got one quite locally.

POST 14Original post

Ahh I was going to say I get 25-30% off normally, just checked on the S5 battery for the 996, but it didn't work. I checked and apparently they have a 23% sale so all other codes are invalid sorry Thought I could get you an S5 for 60 quid then!

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks for trying . Its going in for a service at the weekend so ill see if he can get a discount.

POST 16Original post
