Beware of these cheap AA and AAA cells which can be found in the £ Shops and market stalls - they are useless!

There was a man with an Audi on Honest John's Telegraph pages who was charged £130 I think, and he had to sit waiting while the stores man finished his tea and sandwiches!

Yep, sounds like a typical Audi dealer !

Main dealers make slim margins on new cars, so the bulk of their profits come from servicing and parts. They know 90% of customers can't be bothered to shop around to save a tenner each time on "remote key" batteries, so people generally pay what's been billed!

My local Audi dealer changed the one for my A4 for the cost of the battery - about £2.50 iirc...not all main dealers rip you off - well not allofthetime.

"cheap AA and AAA cells which can be found in the £ Shops and market stalls"
and are usually zinc-carbon as opposed to alkaline, which is what most of us are now used to.
Maplin is a good source of decent batteries. Their 40-packs of AA's and AAA's are usually £10-£12 (depending on promotions) and one of those keeps my Palm Pilot going for about 2 years!
