barry2711 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Afternoon guys, the battery failed in my 350z recently. Believe it to be the original due the Japanese writing on the side so not bad for 10 years! Anyway, after checking all the usual online part suppliers, I found the correct spec Bosch battery with a 4 year guarantee for £64 from carparts4less.co.uk (they are the online only subsidiary company of eurocarparts if I'm correct) Was also able to find a 7.5% off discount code which basically meant that next day delivery was free! Got it delivered to a local corner shop that participates in a UPS delivery scheme meaning that no one had to be home too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 SNAP.....Same happened to me. Battery died more or less without warning after only 10 yrs service (cheap Japanese rubbish...ha ha) I also bought a Bosch from a local supplier Andrew Page for same price.

samsniss350z Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ten years for a battery is not bad going as far as I'm concerned, although I suppose a lot depends on whether the car had run numerous shortish journeys or a fair few motorway journeys.

barry2711 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think mine may have been on its way out for a little while, when cranking it over the volts used to drop way down to 9. With the new battery it only drops down to 11v when starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Hercules Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Mine died today. Picked up the Bosch battery for £56.49 at Euro Car Parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
