Any good comments or otherwise about Bosch batteries? They're imported from Aussie I believe and I noticed Tinkr.co.nz have reasonable pricing and freight free for the one I'll need soon?

Tivo upgrades to operate with the new OzTivo EPG, support and service. Over 400 performed here so far. See: www.hillcrest.net.nz
I just wait until the warehouse has 25-40% off exide normally every 2nd week or so.
If you are in Wellington - Battery Cell in Petone is noticeably cheaper.
I'll be needing a new battery for the Touareg soon the battery is from new, 7 years old, so have started researching it. The car is an ex UK 2011 3.0TDI with the auto start-stop "feature" which means the battery needs to be made out of unobtainium and capable of starting the Queen Mary.
So looking up the specs, it can take a Varta H3 which sells in the UK for about 100 quid. Looking for a NZ supplier and the first one that comes up https://www.thebatterycellonline.co.nz/product/1570938 $503 !!!!! Holy hell.
I will keep looking...

I know! I seen it done though, wasn't too bad. Slide seat forward, remove 2 bolts slide seat back, remove 2 bolts then just tilt seat back and lean against the back seat no need to disconnect wiring harness...
I see AA have a battery for over $600, they're really looking after their members!
Partmaster have batteries with a 3.5 year warrantee at sharp prices.
My mum also got quoted $206 by AA when they were jump starting her car, but thought she'd check with me first. Partmaster retail on a NS40 equivalent (for corolla's and other <1800cc jappas) was $146, with another 25% off if you can wrangle a trade discount, so my mum's bill dropped from $206 to $107 and the additional bonus was a 6 month longer warranty.
