I've swapped to the Yuasa one. So far so good. OEM always felt week and only ever get a few years out of them. Yuasa definitely has a stronger start in the cold over OEM imo. Car usually feels weak, but has been fine this winter, even with my very short journey each way to the station (3.6m)

Plus, if it's good enough for the BTCC teams, it's good enough for me

Same. I heard about these through my old line of work when they were relased.

Yuasa's sister company GS also released one with the exact same specs and was slightly cheaper.

I just went with the Yuasa one over the GS as it was shiney and silver

I also went Yuasa, expensive I agree, but I think it was worth it for the extra warranty and piece of mind.

I went with the Honda one as my local dealer gives me 20% S2KUK discount so it made no sense to buy anything else.

That's proof I think. Halfords do email receipts - you don't have that?

I just ordered an ECP one, will see how I get on

If you are going to leave it for a long time just disconnect it. I've learnt my lesson now.

Halfords online have said a bank statement is enough and i should get a replacement.
