Just a quick hello to all you Terrano owners.Mine is a 1998 2.7 TDi,78,000 on the clock and she's still a baby.Been off the road for 18 months so I put the battery on charge-nothing,so hooked her up to my good Ladys' car-two turns and VROOOOM,how good is that!Anyway hello.
PS How much can you expect to pay for a battery these days?

Welcome to the club.

Try Halfords, should be able to get a decent battery for £75 to £100 and their 5 Year no-fuss warranty is great. Only paid for two batteries out of my last 7

Batteries are decidedly cheaper here in the UK than in Spain - had one fitted to my T2 by a company called Norauto in Marbella - 170 euros!!!!! Admittedly it was a Varta, but even so VERY expensive - a big mark-up methinks!
