Good evening,
I need to buy a new battery for my Rover 75 diesel.
I am looking for advice and guidance on what and where to buy.
Thanks for your help.
Regards David

Tanya seem to offer the best value. If you search for my name + battery + Tanya, I bought the largest capacity one which would fit in the box with the lid in place, a few years ago.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

I've always believed the warranty is important on batteries . Be sure that your supplier will still be there if you need to claim on it !
