Or the Varta 110Ah is low as £95 online, ebay etc.
ECP just round the corner from where I am in Hertfordshire, and they have that battery in stock.

I am still determined to locate the source of that 0.4A drain, although I suspect the car may have always had it based on the fact the battery had always dropped to 50% if left for 4 or 5 days.

I guess that over a period of time the battery has deteriorated and I guess that in 18 months I'll be going through the same thing.
