    The car had trouble starting this morning and clock was reset to 00:00 so pretty sure battery is dying, probably the weather.

    Anyone suggest any decent batteries or will a Halfords one do as I get a big discount?

    Yeah what are the disadvantages/advantages of a lightweight one? Otherwise I'll get the S5

    Advantages = Can be much much lighter which takes weight off the front end
    Disadvantages = Could go flat if left for too long

    I don't have one fitted so I can't comment from real world experience. I wold assume that as long as you dont go for a really, really small one then it should be ok. I'm happy to be told otherwise by people who have tried it out though as I would be tempted to upgrade mine in future.

    I run a small odyssey battery in mine and its OK unless you leave it a week then it starts to struggle to start it due to the parsytic loses from alarm etc.
