Adam Terminal 30 Electrical Issue

I have a 2015 Vauxhall Adam with a gasoline engine. I'm experiencing a weird electrical issue, 'Terminal 30 continuous plus interrupted'. Basically, it struggles to start. My initial thought is maybe something draining the battery? Any ideas where to start looking? It's done 95812 km.

Terminal 30 issue, eh? Sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my Adam. Was your battery draining overnight too? Did you check for any blown fuses or anything obviously shorted?

Yeah, the battery does seem to be draining faster than it should. I haven't pulled all the fuses yet, but I didn't see anything obvious in the main box. When you had this issue, was it intermittent, or pretty constant? And did anything seem to trigger it?

Mine was intermittent at first, then got worse pretty quickly. Honestly, I spent ages trying to chase it down myself, and I'm usually pretty handy with cars. But in the end, I just took it to a workshop. Saved me a lot of hassle, to be honest.

Okay, appreciate the insight. Sounds like I'm heading down the same road. I'll get it booked in. It turned out to be a faulty battery causing the voltage drop, cost 290€. Cheers for the help!
