F0CUE Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 During my M.O.T I was advised my battery was needing renewed and also it's the original that came with the car near 10 years that has Lasted! So if you need a new battery find out the Oem ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
