What Battery for my 406 HDI 110 ?

Post by pugface406lx »

Hi There,

Anyone know what the battery rating for my car should be please? I need a new one as the old one gave up the ghost this afternoon.
Halfords are open till 8pm tonight so if I know what to get I can pop down there

Cheers

When I bought a new battery for my V6 I went into a local spares shop and bought the recommended Bosch. Unfortunately it wouldn't fit in the plastic battery box and I had to take it back for a refund. Just as well I bought locally rather than mail order. It replaced the original battery which was about 10 years old at this point so it had lasted very well yet it was a brand I had never heard of before and can't remember now
