thx folks.
considered various options based on all of the above and have plumped for speed of delivery + cost for a 'standard' type battery. Will leave the smaller sexier otion for the next battery change!
Hopefully Chris the Car will drop one off later tonight and i'll be back in business......

Wish I'd got here sooner - I have the RMD 25 - it's a nice battery, and we managed to negotiate a bulk buy deal with them as part of the L7C, which made them super reasonable.

That was until someone found this. :shock:

That looks remarkably good value but i bet you if i bought it all i would get on starting would be a clonk.

It is exactly the same as the RMD one, just with a different sticker. It is tried and tested :)

I had one of those RMD batteries on my zetec and it wouldn't turn the car over. Not enough umph. I believe James had the same issue?

ah glad you said that Neil, as was a bit torn and James did mention a week back that he'd had issues but i'd forgotten to ask him yesterday about it!
new battery arrived last night, will pop on charge this morning to top it up before firing up the car.
