Buy one with the longest guarantee possible would be my advice, some do like 4 years.
I have aftermarket HID's on my current car and when they are on it messes up the radio sound.

Halfrauds do them the model number is HB-038 its the smallest one and you will need to buy new terminals too

Personally I wouldn't use anything other than a Varta BLUE.
If you use the car nearly everyday then this 40Ah one will do the job:
http://www.varta-automotive.com/index.php?id=515&artikelNr=5401270333132
If you only use the car occasionally such as at weekends, then a 45Ah might provide some benefit:

Both have the same cold crank rating but the 45Ah should theoretically take slightly longer to discharge than the 40Ah. No terminal adapters are required, both of these batteries should be a direct replacement. They should have a 4 year warranty, the silver has a 5 year warranty but isn't available in direct replacement dimensions.
I'd expect to pay around £40-£50 for the 40Ah and maybe £10-£15 more for the 45Ah.
A couple of places that might be near you:
AUTODEN KNUTSFORD

CHESHIRE BATTERIES

If not you should be able to buy either online quite easily using the codes:

545 157 033 - 45Ah

For those local to Bristol who may be in need of a replacement battery, I've just picked up a Varta Blue 545 157 033 (B33) (45Ah 330CCA) for £50.50 inc VAT.
This is a direct replacement i.e. small terminals and correct dimensions to fit the Starlet battery tray and clamp, if you need one they can be got from:
POOLEC AUTOMOTIVE
UNIT 8 THE POLYGON
FOURTH WAY
AVONMOUTH
BRISTOL
BS11 8DP
Phone: 0117 9829109
