    Loads out there, just make sure its agm.
    Look at your old battery, take a note of which side is positive, the amp rating as in 80ah.
    Looked for mine, between £130 - £150.
    Try the online battery supplier's thou, europarts want £300 plus.
    Most come with a 2/3 year warranty.

      Is it not covered with Vauxhall warranty?

          Have a look on here it will give you the correct capacity/amps. Either type in Reg number or manually select. Ignore the price as that is always negotiable.

          Importantly it also gives you correct procedure for resetting systems after battery change

              Stop/start will only work if car is at correct temp, battery fully charged etc, in neutral with feet off the pedals. if you have lights, heater blower, aircon etc on it may not kick in due to current usage. May be worth second opinion by "proper" garage on battery before splashing out on a new one though, best to get a voltage drop check done.

                As described before every start / stop works differently. Temperature has nothing to do with mine, works after about 100 yards.
                Second opinion needed, its not just the voltage that's important.
