.....every time I start her up now,she goes through this 'test'routine where all the gauges go to maximum briefly before returning to normal. Apparently a silver calcium battery is the way to go. Anyone ordered from this lot?.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FOCUS-PETROL-car-battery-1-6-1-8-2-0-MODELS-075-60ah-/200960773310?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&has

Seems very cheap,but it is an 075 silver calcium with 4 years warranty.What do you think.

    Blimey.Just checked the battery that's on the car,and it is way smaller than the correct one. Can't find a number on it but it's certainly not the right one at 200mm long,when it should be 240mm. That won't help!.

    Bosch S3 or S4 is the best battery type to replace with. I bought mine from euro car parts, about £70 for an S4 at the start of the year. Had to swap it for a replacement and all behaves itself well.

    Bosch is by far the best one
