I might need a new battery due to it going flat earlier, I jumped it to get home and after the drive home from work it seems to be okay now and starts fine now, Am going to give it a full charge over the weekend and check the fluid levels,

I might have just flatted it out but if not what battery would you recommend to fit? Corsa diesel? as my current battery is from a 106 diesel and has been on the car for a couple of years now, I know that the altenator is good and was new about a year ago

I can't afford to go down the Yellow top route.

Unless you have a big stereo setup, a normal one should be fine.

just go to the motor factors, and ask them what the biggest capacity battery they do, in the same size.
