True, I was also looking at the impact of places like Screwfix, GSF car parts & the like where I live. Local Car Spares place in Mickleover closed and never opened again in 2020. Plus of course the internet.

£8.99 is quite a price hike  :o

I went to the very same motor factors for a battery for car, and was told because it had start stop technology requires a higher amp battery. Fair enough. Then proceeded to tell me it would be £175. 😡 I thought we’ll if that’s the price that’s it. Looked for same battery online, £74.99 delivered. There not taking £100 profit from me for a battery. Too “Scottish” for that.🤣🤣

I use either Tanya Batteries or the Batterty  Megastore for our 4 x4 's I'm a big fan of Yuassa & AGM technology for little used vehicles.

Sesman:
You were lucky. The battery gave up on my R1200GS a couple of years ago and I got stiffed by a French battery Bandit for 180 euros😳. I managed to smile through gritted teeth during the entire exchange.
