Can this be caused by the new battery?

Some dealers are an absolute joke my DCT gearbox was diagnosed as needing a replacement due to DCT failure messages showing on 50% of start ups.. despite me telling them i thought it was an electrical problem as all was fine if it started without any warnings coming up ,they insisted the diagnostics were stating to replace the Motronics @£9500 plus fitting.
long story short i got fed up after 2 visits with there BS and investigated the problem myself ..turns out the earth strap had become detached from the engine. back on it went ...result no more issues

OK.. so the dealer called me: its the ICV and the secondary air pump.

They haven't sent me the quote yet, but can anyone recommend me any website where I can order these parts online?

Many thanks.
