It must have been fucked for a while then. The van had been standing for a while before I bought it. It only had 20k on it but had beand new discs and pads all round. Which says they were cery rusty to me. A guy drove it from arnold shark in Aberdeen to here which might explain the rust.

Fancy batteries are quite dear compared to bog basic ones.

Anyway £98 - £320 for a pair of 110 from Tayna https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/types/110/

Did you never try your battery tester on that one?

This is the battery that goes in our A4:

It's why I haven't changed it despite it 11+ years old and the battery capacity isn't quite what it was. However it's been impressive how long it's lasted, especially as we use stop/start regularly.

1% per month on late payment? That's a cheap loan there!
