Yes the above brands are fine, especially Yuasa

Thanks for that. Yuasa, Exide or Varta seem to be about the best, Price / Pound as it where ? Cheaper ones seem to be own brand type and others seem to be a lot more expensive.

As the engine is small capacity and the demands on the Stop/Start are relatively low then an EFB battery should be fine - just ensure you don't compromise on the brand and as a rule a cheap battery is lightweight and a more expensive battery of the same specifications is heavier - I would go for the best quality one for your money

Hi @Mikey Good to have you onboard ! As far as I can determine if the replacement wheel suits the car and the Airbag is correct for the vehicle and wheel then it should be a straightforward swap. Disconnect the battery negative terminal and leave for at least 30 minutes. Remove the air bag and store with the pad facing upwards on the floor out of the way. Use a breaker bar or similar to loosen the centre nut but leave the nut on by a few threads - use you palms to whack the underside of the wheel and it should come loose - now you still have your front teeth as the nut will hold it back from the steering wheel smacking you in the face (trust me I only ever did it the once). Disconnect all wiring and be careful with the SRS Rotary Coupling that it does not move from its position or gets damaged - also do not turn the steering wheel from the position it was removed from. Prior to removing I should have said that it is an idea to use Tippex to mark the original position of the wheel on the steering column shaft so it goes on in exactly the same place

bit of luck more like :-)

Thats a positive outcome for you then - not so much for the car :-(

The GTE was finally taken off us as the fault could not be found and dealership gave us a replacement car. As its no longer on the DVLA website so must assumenits been scrapped.

Either a loose connection but more than likely an update may be required

Bit late I know. But I removed battery to replace water pump and screen stopped playing up when reconnected. Battery reset or luck ? 🤔
