I always get mine from Halfords. Usually come with a 4 year warranty.

Depends on what you want. For a straight replacement go to halfords, the calcium one (HCB005) is normally about £82 (less any VAT reduction) and has a higher current rating than the factory one and come with a 4 year warranty. If you can find someone with a trade card they come down to about £60

Don't mean to hijack this thread but do they do these batteries for all makes and models of car? As It appears I may need 2. 1 x STi MY03 and 1 for my YRV Turbo. But the YRV has a smaller battery than the standard size one you find in most cars.
