Dnk Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for the replies chaps!! I did fancy getting one from Mr T but maybe Halfords is the only option at the moment as my local Mr T doesn't deal with imports!! Are the battery terminals the same as a uk spec ? surely they are arent they ? the size would be the same so just get one for a uk spec, when i bought mine i just said its a uk spec mkiv and hey presto i wasnt asked for chassis numbers etc my car is a uk spec though some Toyota dealers do make a meal out of the simpleist things, if you want a chassis number i'll pm you mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i might phone them and just not mention the word import and see how i get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 As I couldnt be bothered to change the wiring on my jspec to fit the UK spec Halfrauds battery I picked up a Yuasa battery from AllParts, the old battery was also a Yuasa unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
