This is another small "frustration" for W123 diesel owners. The diesel requires a big and heavy battery that is not as easy to remove and replace as you would think. If you are not careful, you can tweak your lower back lifting one out of the car. Once you get it out be prepared - there could be some nasty stuff hiding under the battery tray!
