Yes I just checked at this moment I misunderstand it. I thought it said Tuesday. But will be here tomorrow.Most eBay sellers (certainly Tayna, the one I linked to) provide free next-day delivery.
Just tried in this morning and the car starts straight away. With a good luck until the new battery arrives I won't have any problem and I dont feel any more miserable.
Thanks for all the input so far!
Once the battery arrives I keep you guys updated!
Thanks once again.
Sure I'll do that!When you finish driving at the end of the day leave it running for an extra 5 minutes with everything off, its probably the impact of the heater, lights n wipers going on a weak battery.
I actually find one charger in my garage thanks for that to my brother. I also keeping a extension cable with me now. Just in case.If you are driving short distances I recommend to buy a battery charger and fully charge the battery from time to time.
I had no time to order the battery today that's going to be a tomorrow's job.That battery is not only very old, but also lower capacity than is optimal for your car.at 70 Ah capacity. Fortunately the latest Varta E44 now offers 77 Ah, or you can step up to a heavier but higher capacity F19 at 85 Ah. Varta recommend the E44 for all A2s now.

Just would like to double check it if they are mistaken with this.
It says it would not fit in but I checked the dimensions and if I'm not wrong it should fit.
I will order it now!It'll definitely fit. I have the E44 battery in my A2.
Almost, you'll have to re-pair keyfob remote, radio code if not original and reset electric windows.Good news it arrived yesterday. Will be fitting today as soon as I have time.
Is it just the a straight swap, right?
Unplug old one plug in new one?

Great thank you!Yes, it's a straight swap.
Be aware that the sticker on the top of the battery warning that you should remove the vent plugs is somewhat misleading. You should only remove the vent plug at the end of the battery where you connect the venting tube, the other one definitely stays in place.
I plugged a gizmo containing a PP3 battery in my cigar lighter socket while doing the changeover to preserve the settings, worked very well.
Since the battery will be out I probably change the seat mine looks a bad and I have a TT MK1 steering wheel too.
Did you cover the negative terminal with anything?It'll definitely fit. I have the E44 battery in my A2.
Tayna simply haven't listed anything beyond MG and Mercedes Benz compatibility.
