Delivery excellent, battery doing fine so far. I had the same trouble as others with the breather pipes not fitting (connections not oriented as original) and the hold-down not being quite right; however it's snugly in place now.

Bought this to replace the original (13 yr old) Panasonic which had finally given up the ghost. It arrived the day after I placed the order, safely packed. Removed the breather pipe & turned it 180 deg. The Westco fitted straight in, pipe on & connections tightened all within 15 min. Car started 1st pull.. what a joy. Would recommend this battery and Tayna to anyone relacing a Panasonic.

Overall I was extremely pleased with the service I received tha staff were knowledgeable and helpful and the battery arrived very promptly. Unfortunately the battery was returned as it developed a fault. The gentleman I spoke to was again exremely courteous and helpful and a refund ensued. Sadly the battery was 'DUFF' but Tayna and their customer services are most certainly first rate. I would happily return and indeed recommend them.

Bought as a straight replacement for original MX5 Panasonic one. Just had to swop the two breather tubes over. Arrived before 10am the day after it was ordered. Excellent service.

The recommended aftermarket battery for the Mk1 / Mk2 MX5, may be dearer than a traditional battery but it fits properly and has the correct vent tube connections. Doubt you'll find a better price anywhere else online.

I asked a question by email and on the forum - no answer - not very good Tanya!

Very pleased to take such prompt delivery of the battery, well packaged and in perfect condition. It is now fitted to my car and the engine started first time. I have only awarded 3 points as a reflection of the fact: 1)It is not a perfect replacement for the original Panasonic. The dimensions are different and the re-positioning of the vent outlets means the original piping isn't suitable. Hence I had the inconvenience of travelling 30 miles to obtain a new length of piping. 2) After placing my order I noticed the MX5 owners website contained mixed messages about the suitability of the WestCo battery and the concensus really favoured the additional expense of buying a new Panasonic. Only time will tell if I have made the best decision especially as my original Panasonic gave over 10 years service. Thank you again for the high quality service & competitive pricing.

The battery isn't as long as the previous one, but it's approx 2cm taller, however this still sits perfectly in the tray in the boot of my Eunos. As it's quite hard to source a battery with the correct dimensions it is expensive. But if it lasts for 10+ years like my previous one I'll be very happy.

Great service from Tayna - battery delivered next day and at cheapest price I could find. Battery was replacement for the original (18 year old!)Panasonic battery in my MK1 MX5. Although the Westco is slightly smaller than the Panasonic, it sits securely in the battery tray and has the vent tube connectors so everything remains tidy. A lot more cranking power too. Recommended.
