Type 063 will do the job,but you are better off with a slightly higher capacity 065/075.I would stick with a known brand such as Bosch,Varta Exide.Most batteries come with a minimum 3 year warranty.Those with a 4 or 5 year warranty are the same battery but you are paying an extra "insurance".Take a look at the Vauxhall main dealer batteries,as they often have a promotion running.No special procedures to follow other than always remove the negative lead first and replace last.If this is a Zafira B,then the radio will automatically recode itself.
