Any recommendations on where to go for a decent quality battery?

It's for a Range Rover Sport - I can get an OE replacement, but it's steep at 1200ish DHS.
I wasted 2 hours driving around Al Quoz this morning and got fed up of the amount crap quality brands that everyone was attempting to flog - I'm sure it shouldn't be this difficult to get a battery replacement!


Cheers

Thanks, will try TVR.

I also called Dial-a-battery but was told it was a Taiwanese brand so gave it a miss. I'd be happy with a Duracell and warrantee so maybe I'll call again!

Not sure if it's the same company but 800 BATTERY is owned by a friend of mine. A fraction of main dealer cost. OEM with 3 year warranty I think.

No, haha!

I'm over every so often on business. And I ask myself who is the happier man. Is it me, with my temperate climate, modestly dignified cul de sacs, parsimonious diesel executive Eurobox saloons, the glamour of a Protestant work ethic City career and political leaders of genuine global clout and gravitas? Or is it you, with your planet killing V8 monster trucks, year round sunshine, throwing your keys to the valet at yet another anonymous marble-colonnaded six star resort, to descend to some artificial beach front restaurant to chew vacantly on fashionably expensive perfectly textured wagyu, a Cohiba Siglo VI lying invitingly in the walk-in humidor back home in your extravagantly wasteful seven bedroom villa where your perfectly sculpted single female friends wait expectantly for you to service them?

It's you, isn't it?
