Title: Corsa 1.2 battery. How much?
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 02 January 2013, 15:31:26
How much should I pay for a genuine Vauxhall battery for a 2003 1.2 Corsa? (36ah)

My local(ish) Vx dealer does not recognise Trade card, but is willing to haggle.

About 40-45 quid ish.

Fun to change though as you have to remove the scuttle cover.

Thanks, Mr Aaron. Would a 60/65/70 Amp battery fit?.  The original Vx one is rated at a paltry 36 AH.

Being in a tight spot, I've just ordered this one. The best price I could get was £50 inc V.A.T. :'(

I hope the above figures don't include V.A.T....as I'm told the retail price is £46.90 + VAT.....£56.28.

Yes. It's a right little turd to get at. :-\ :-\

As I discovered at 7pm on Boxing Day.
To make it worse they'd managed to break the clamp nut as well.
45 minutes to change a bloody battery!
At least they don't need coding to the car, unlike the latest BMWs.

I'll have to sort the radio though. Luckily, I've got the four digit code :y........I think  :'(
