It died

[MikeLMR]

my battery that is, after a lifetime of abuse by having very little use it finally gave up after long winter lay-up

I\'ve never had to replace one before, wheres the best place to go ? had a look at Halfords but don\'t fancy having an ugly lump of black plastic with halfords plastered all over in my engine bay, the old one was clear\'ish plastic which fitted in quite well.  

are there any online places that are good ?
