50 pounds in the UK and $400 here. Now that is some mark up or am I misreading the price in the link? Getting older, maybe the eyes are going:D

Yes £49.80:mad:

It's £69.80 for the RC150 replacement for the 2.7L Diesel, that may be even more here I would imagine:(

I could not find it through any battery outlet:(

Baz.

Had the battery on my TDV6 replaced at last service, so haven't got exact price, but the service rep muttered something about more than $500. I can't find it on any battery sites here either

Cheers

I had the battery replaced recently in my 09 D3 TDV6 with a Century DIN85L. Looked identical in shape to the original LR. Cost $215

I went this way as well ,din85lmf - 2yr garentee- 780cca , $199 from battery world , works a treat , Federal make a 900CCA battery that fits a disco/ rrs for $299 .

The last time I looked, Century batteries were still made in Australia. So that probably decreases price on freight.

Last I looked, the Century "DIN" style batteries were imported, but the others are made locally.

[EDIT] just been to check and the Century website doesn't show any details any more. :(

My Cetury Din85l was made in Korea but what isnt made there and China these days , when checking i saw prices on line from $268 , $236 $199 . when i rang Battery World and they quoted $199 i was supprised as they usualy not the cheapest of places, so went in and grabbed one , as i said works a treat :) .

They replaced the one in the sons Puma,three years and one day old.No questions asked.

So you should be fine,unless they have changed the fine print in the warranty section of the manual....
