C250TD Dead battery

[Supacool1]

Got a call when at work tonite that my partner could not start the Benz. I got there and the battery was flat-boosted it to start the wagon. Running fine but time is now to replace the Bosch battery in the wagon. Any ideas which one to replace with?

Halfords website listed the same Bosch battery for get this 130 buck-a-roo's! Is this right?

I got one from the trade autofactors for 96 buck-a-roo's. Fitted it while using a booster to keep power to the car as I did not want to reset the windows or the door locks.
The difference is amazing-starts faster and starter sounds different too on the crank up! Win Win!
