New Batteries

[Diveboy]

Where can I get 2 new batteries for a 3.0 L SSRX around Chichester?

[MudSurfer]

Not sure about Chichester, RoughTrax and Milners will sell them, I know RoughTrax won't deliver though...

There is a recent thread you could search for - not in general though, that has a load of stuff about handed pairs..

EDIT:

Found it...

I bought a pair from my local parts shop a couple of years back, havent had any problems with em. Try your local parts shop, may well be cheaper than Milners or Rough Trax deffo cheaper than Toyota.

Try your local motor factors they are not specific to the Surf I got two for around £70. Just make sure the two have the poles on opposite sides.

Some people have actually found their local Toyota dealers to be quite competitive when it comes to certain parts, and batteries are one of those parts.

Prepared to stand corrected on that one mate. My local Toyota dealership is a big posh place with lots and lots of shiny things on the forecourt. Think they would have a fit if I rolled up in my old Surf, I'd get sent around the back to the tradesman's entrance

My local Toyota dealer had 40 fits when Hippo turned up

They hid it round the back when they finished doing the recall !

Come to think about it Surf's are a good advert for Toyota. Not a lot of motors the age of our's still on the road, albeit at a price

My local dealer (waterlooville) were cheaper than my local friendly parts shop that i been going to for years, he wanted £20 more per battery than toyota, and the guy carried em out to the truck and complemented me on it, like ya said these things are a bl00dy good advert for toyota and if they shunt ya round the back point that fact out to em in no uncertain trems

Yep, but Hippo wasn't exactly spotless when she went in I think I can still hear the valet guy grumbling, and gawd help the poor sod who went underneath her

Thanks ian619, phoned up WKB Toyota in Waterlooville and they had them in stock. Top bloke in parts helped me carry them out, and told me to drop off the old ones off so they can dispose of them properly. Cheaper by far than the local auto factors, who tried to flog me the wrong batteries saying 'yeah mate, these'll do you'.

I'm mobile again!!!
