Even Honda dealers get confuse - it took 45 mins and an emailed photo from home to get the right OEM one at from a Honda parts counter.

Not sure whether it would be just as cheap buying from Kettering or Northampton though by the time I factor in fuel to go to MK and back...unless I combine it with a Costco run I suppose! Where abouts in MK are Johnsons?

I've had my battery tested and because the car has been parked up for the best part of a year the battery isn't holding charge so needs replacing.
Has anyone got any recommendations for a replacement or should I just got for an OEM one? I've looked on Lings and they're £66.
TIA

Always found Honda dealer cheapest and better than the Hellfords ones. MK Johnsons do you 10% off too Flopster

Update - Avonvale Honda in Northampton will price match Milton Keynes if you are an S2000 Owners Club member.
However, Those of you living in the Northamptonshire area, don't bother at all with Richard Sanders Honda in Kettering as their attitude stank. When asking whether they would price match Avonvale with a 10% S2000 owners club discount, as its closer to pick up from there, the guy said 'well we don't really do or see the point in doing a price match for the sakes of it' then continuing to ask whether there was a particular reason for me requesting it!
So I told him that I'd been an owner for 5yrs now and whenever I'd needed OEM part's I'd gone to them, which I had done before they were recently taken over by the Richard Sanders Group. I also told him that his attitude stank and that with an attitude like that I'll choose to take my business to Avonvale. Its no skin off my nose as Avonvale is right next to the gym for me anyway and I'm there most days.
£59.66 including a 10% discount off. Tom, the chap I spoke to was really helpful, polite and said that it will be there for me to collect by 9am tomorrow!
