2011 OCTAVIA ESTATE 2l DIESEL, think the battery has finally given up, will try a recharge but its original unit so not done bad, any suggestions on best replacement please.

If you're keeping the car then Bosch S5, if it's not a keeper you'll have it for a few more yeas then get the S3 version

Thanks, not sure how long to keep, 55000 miles and running well but I tow so might go for the better one

Or go for varta E44 which is same as S5 but cheaper

Try Advanced Battery Services on EBay they have a shop. Calcium with 4-5 years warranty. Type 100 and Type 9x I seemed to recall when I bought some from them a while back around £45 delivered. It's been suggested on here a few times so do a quick search. Please do double check sizes and compatibility. These fitted into a 1.9 Octy 2 and Fabia 1. 

Thanks guys have access to a Halfords trade card they don't do Bosh any more have changed to Yuasa, have read good thing about them on line so took the plunge, good deal with card, its higher speck than original 75A hope its as good as the write up, was thinking this a sign trade the car up whilst it still has some value but I like it and cam belt done last year so staying for the time being.

Oh forgot to add several warning lights now on Halfords guy said should go out when driven ??

They do go out within a hundred metres so don't panic.
