What about vauxhall, they aren't too bad for batteries and they must be able to order one that fits.

Vauxhall were cheaper than Halfords for me.

What about VW main agent?

Or as suggested, just get Vauxhall to order you one that fits?

the only reason i go to halfords is because my brother is teh manager so i get sooo much free stuff and you can't knock it if its free!

my mate lives near the slough branch and all he does is chooses what he wants and walks out with it because they don't even have alarms so stupid!
