P.E.Haiges:

I know exactly what you're talking about. I know where it is on my 123. Just couldn't find it on the 210.

Rick Miley:

I read through the owner's manual and it tells you that the battery is under the rear seat. My recollection, however, is that it doesn't tell you how to remove the rear seat.

However, I was looking at both these things frantically one night in a parking lot when the car wouldn't start so maybe I just overlooked both. It was the strangest thing. I had just parked the car and got back in to leave. I cranked it over without waiting for the glow plugs because the engine was hot and I can do that on my 123. However, the car cranked without turning over. I then turned the key back, waited a few seconds, then clicked it over to let the glow plugs activate. They never did, which is what started the panicking. After not finding anything I was looking for, I tried the key one more time. The glow plugs lit and the car started. I have no idea what went wrong.
