I would say yes, slightly harder to fit in the shelf as it doesn't quite click like the Bosch, but manageable.

It's hooked up to a battery conditioner, which is showing green but the battery is clearly goosed :roll:

Lots of the Southern Region guys have trade cards, the Halfords batteries are very good, and the savings with the card are megga!

I've got a trade card but they do not stock a battery for the 3.2 911. A bit odd really because they stock them for every other 911 model, modern and classic. :scratch:

I suspect they do one but don't list it. Try Southern Auto Electric in Tovil they sorted the Jeep out.
