Retrofit battery cover - Rusty2009 - 14:th-Sep-2014

Some cars have the negative battery cover some don't.

I ordered this from Autovaux at a total cost £7.49 + postage and was surprised it arrived today (Sunday).

Part number 13320713

Real simple to fit just clips over the battery



Be aware sellers on eBay want well over the odds for this (£35).

Yep that's the part number (just checked my emails should of been £7.49 + postage but I had some credit with them which got the price down to £5.45 posted.

I shall edit the original price, but still be aware people are selling them on eBay used for £35 example of such http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=271601142380

Retrofit battery cover - cornishtaz - 19:th-Sep-2014

Got my cover today. Tidies up the engine bay at a cost of £7.67 from vauxhall superstore as in the link in my previous post. ☺

Retrofit battery cover - Rusty2009 - 19:th-Sep-2014

It is worth the £8 odd that only seem to put it on some models.

Retrofit battery cover - cornishtaz - 19:th-Sep-2014

Retrofit battery cover - Rusty2009 - 19:th-Sep-2014

Retrofit battery cover - tucpal - 20:th-Sep-2014

must be cost cutting by vauxhall so what models have this as standard then ??

Retrofit battery cover - Rusty2009 - 20:th-Sep-2014

What a small battery you have

Looks much better mate.

I know Lewis has it on his 1.3 CDTI base model only model I've seen it on.

Retrofit battery cover - tucpal - 20:th-Sep-2014

Retrofit battery cover - Cameron UK - 20:th-Sep-2014

Just ordered this now, does it come with the positive and native bit then?

Retrofit battery cover - Rusty2009 - 20:th-Sep-2014

Just the negative cover mate does make it look better though.

Retrofit battery cover - tucpal - 20:th-Sep-2014

you should have the plus side i broke my one a while back that is why i got both

Retrofit battery cover - JohnL - 23:rd-Sep-2014

My old elite had them so perhaps not a model thing but a year side of it. Wonder if the parents will notice if it goes missing from their mobility car
