Re: battery
I got a Varta Silver C6 for my GT, probably the same you'll need for your 16 Meteor. It was rather cheap, and a good make apparently, as it's associated with Bosch? £70 delivered (same day, was rather quick!) from this website

Re: battery
Try http://www.thebatteryguys.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as their website should show you the correct battery (or a couple of options). I found them great value and exceedingly quick in terms of delivery. (next day)

The 063 does my BX16 TGS very satisfactorily though a longer one will fit on the battery plate....

that's over twice what I paid in July 2010. 
Mick, the 063 I bought was £31.99 delivered via UPS from Car Batteries Direct of Manchester. Delivery was prompt and a 4yr Guarantee on the battery too. I especially need a good battery as my BX is automatic and this one has not disappointed.
They have a website but I dealt with them on the telephone on 07976 771803
