Hi all had to rescue the wife today in our 2002 Zafira GSi, thebattery had gone flat. She had done a couple of short journeys today with no problems, than did the last journey and sat for about an hour with only the radio on. when she went to start it the battery was totally flat. The battery should of been fully charged as we did a 100 plus mile motorway trip yesterday. We have had this a couple of times before where its fine one minute then totally flat the next, even tho its only had the radio or interior light on for about an hour, like when cleaning the car out. We managed to bump start the car and get it home, where i checked the charging, its charging a constant 14volts at idle and at higher revs. After turning the engine off the battery is showing 12.7v after a couple of minutes Does this mean that the regaulaor on the alternator is at fault? and could it be not charging so the battery goes flat one minute and overcharging the next? would this explain the battery prob? Or is there a problem with the battery that could of screwed the alternator. Thanks for any help Tim
