You will have to replace both, otherwise the new one will be zapped by the older one.

Some big car accesory shops are open on a sunday.

norty thoughts

well it does vibrate in first gear , no not the missus the battery

Try the Surf without the knacked battery fitted. If it's dragging the good one
down, you may be fine starting with just the good one until you get sorted.

Try an auto sparks if your local factors don't stock them.

I replaced both mine (3lt turbo diesel) with a pair of HB065 from halfrauds. 495 cold crank amps each and just under £100 for the pair. they are a little smaller than the original toyota ones but still fit with a spacer (lump of 2x1) under the battery holder.

If one battery is OK, just disconnect the duff one, it should be fine for a while.

Or just buy the one you can get and run it single till the other one is in stock. (tape up the loose connection though!)
