Replacing the battery in a Vauxhall Zafira Tourer involves several steps to ensure it's done safely and correctly. Here are the instructions:

Preparation:

Ensure the car is parked on a flat, stable surface.
Turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
Engage the parking brake.
Open the bonnet (hood) of the car.
Locate the Battery:

The battery is typically located in the engine bay on the right-hand side (driver’s side in most models).
Tools Needed:

A socket set (commonly 10mm and 13mm sockets are used).
A wrench.
Safety gloves and glasses.
Disconnect the Battery:

Negative Terminal First: Using a wrench, loosen the nut on the negative terminal (marked with a "-" or black cover). Remove the negative cable and set it aside, ensuring it doesn't touch any metal parts.
Positive Terminal: Loosen the nut on the positive terminal (marked with a "+" or red cover). Remove the positive cable and set it aside.
Remove the Battery:

If there is a battery clamp or retaining bar, use the appropriate socket to remove the bolts holding it in place.
Carefully lift the battery out of the tray. Batteries can be heavy, so use proper lifting techniques.
Install the New Battery:

Place the new battery into the tray, ensuring it's seated correctly.
Reattach the battery clamp or retaining bar and tighten the bolts.
Reconnect the Battery:

Positive Terminal First: Attach the positive cable to the positive terminal and tighten the nut.
Negative Terminal: Attach the negative cable to the negative terminal and tighten the nut.
Check and Finalize:

Ensure all connections are secure.
Close the bonnet.
Start the car to ensure the new battery is working properly.
Safety Tips:
Always handle batteries with care; they contain acid that can be harmful.
Ensure you connect the correct terminals to avoid electrical damage.
Dispose of the old battery properly at a recycling center or auto parts store.
