As the title says.
Car is booked in for its MOT on Tuesday, and my battery is fooked, so if anyone can lend me one monday/tuesday next week until I buy one or if anyone wants to sell one, please let me know, cheers.

What size should it be Joe? It has to be secure for your MOT

Ahh didn't know that Mark, cheers.
The one in it at the moment is a B18 (43Ah) which is a bit too small,
Ideally, I'm after a B13: Length - 242mm Width - 175mm Height - 190mm
Terminal type needs to be type 1

Jeeze what did you get lol... I was quoted £42.50 all in for a brand new diesel battery (dearer then petrol batteries) from Europarts in Moreton. I think the dearest place was quoting £68 lol. Halfords are absolute rip-off merchants. In the end I got myself a second hand, but practically new one (still in packaging etc) from the scrappy for £15 lol. Btw, you can get away without the battery being secure on the MOT, ive had an advisory for it twice lol.

I was quoted £50 for one inc VAT from J&M Speed but they shut at 1pm on Sat and weren't open today  The one I bought is a calcuim battery and has a 4 year guarantee, otherwise it was about £55 for a standard one. Tried to get the 10% using the offer they had this bank holiday, but there was no reserve and collect available for the Bidston Moss store.
