ok so quick update.

Honda pollockshaws (only decent one close to me, East Kilbride has a Honda dealer but they are jobby) have ordered me the correct battery according to the year/model etc only issue i cannot get it until August 2013! lol

So i have the part no (31500-SS0-N04) and will go around a couple of motor factors and friends i have who are mechanics this afternoon chasing this down.

Western Honda is the dealer, telling me the battery for my car is discontinued.

well the plan was to keep it as a spare on trickle charge at the workshop so anyone with a battery problem could grab this to get out of trouble - i thought youd want a new performance battery like the yuasa one ive just fitted. i will bring the old battery with me on saturday if ek_dave doesnt want it.

Take your car to Honda, they will have a big stock of batteries, one will fit in the tray with the correct poles and amperage etc - that's how I got my latest one and it was £60 with a 3 year warranty.

vanzep thank you for the offer but merlin is more deserving than me. I am off out on the hunt to see what i can discover in the heart of scotland to make my prelude live.
