I would say yes, slightly harder to fit in the shelf as it doesn't quite click like the Bosch, but manageable.

Lots of the Southern Region guys have trade cards, the Halfords batteries are very good, and the savings with the card are megga!

I've got a trade card but they do not stock a battery for the 3.2 911. A bit odd really because they stock them for every other 911 model, modern and classic. :scratch:

I suspect they do one but don't list it. Try Southern Auto Electric in Tovil they sorted the Jeep out.
