spooks Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Anyone know how much a battery is from Subaru? Car aint started for 6 days and hasnt a hope of starting, new battery needed, would be ideal if I could get a rough cost. Will need to phone Subaru assist to start it Spooks
jamie_wood Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 They are unique batterys on that car, they are about £189+vat the last I knew
spooks Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 lol alls i know is that BMW batteries dont fit, trust me I tried Aint buying anything from you now mate, yer too cheap LMAO Spooks
jamie_wood Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 He he he, was worth a try!!! No idea Matey, you got trade coonections aint you?? Would think LSUK could do something for you or simmilar. Good luck, remember theres always Halfords
wrxmania Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Hey "QEII", Just had to replace the one in the Primera - looked all around to get a decent one/the right one. Eventually I bought it from Nissan as the proper battery for the GT (with 10% discount of course) only cost me £41 including VAT (and getting covered in snow fitting it Tuesday night ). Subaru price - who knows bu it may be covered under the reduction in service parts and basic components they brought in recently??? The best ones seems to be, after my "research", one made by Varta - can't remember the name of it - it has a five year warranty and is designed for extra power on startup etc. HI-Q in West Calder @ the Brucefield Farm roundabout stock em You have P.M. Brian "Subaru Assist"
spooks Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 Cheers for the info Brian, hoping that the batteries have been dropped in price at Subaru ............ need to fit my Prodrive battery clamp at the same time Spooks
wrxmania Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 You get your PM Spooks. I am in tonight Brian

johnnyr6 Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I got the battery for my classic from costco. £35 for a bosch silver top, not had a prob since. As it's not listed i phoned an autoparts dealer friend of mine and found it's the same battery as the toyota corolla which was listed.
wrxmania Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Don't say that - he'll have the battery out of his missus' Corolla in a flash for the buggy
karps Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 same happened to me spooks but i claimed a new battery from Subaru on warranty
spooks Posted January 24, 2005 Author Posted January 24, 2005 NO warranty guys But ta and cheers And Brian, what makes ya think I havent thought about it ...im sorely tempted I can tell ya Spooks
wrxmania Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 A quick switch and she'll be on the phone to recovery folk and get a new battery under warranty !!! I'd be careful though - that battery made the car veer dangerously off the road once into a ditch. Maybe I have a Corolla battery in mine
Johnny50 Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Spooks... My mum works for LSUK. I'll get you a good price if you like ?
dave_morgan Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Glass's show a Subaru list price of 59.53+vat. HTH Dave
