You guys are all still either missing the point or not reading my
messages carefully! ONLY the battery in a 300CD TURBODIESEL coupe is
a challenge to remove; all other W123s are relatively straightforward.

Perhaps a few pictures and detailed notes as to why it is so relatively
hard to get a batt out of a CD might help us to understand, particularly
us over ere who have never seen a CD, let alone had a gander under the

It's hard to get a battery out, armed only with a laptop and mobile phone.

WOW, I can RR a 123 battery in less than 10 mins. I much prefer the
pull
out drop in of the 126. Remove the air cleaner. Have new rubber air
cleaner mounts handy if yours are bad
? Takes me less than 2 minutes.

It's ONLY a difficult job in the cramped engine bay of a W123 300CD coupe.
On other models even I can do the trick in 10 minutes.

The roominess around the battery of a 1985 300CD is defiitely more cramped
than a 1983 300TD, I can tell you that as a FACT.
