Decided to change my vehicle battery as it is 6 years old and its charge drops of fairly quickly. Battery change appears to be straight forward,

I'm sure someone who knows more will give you an answer re your vehicle.
You will lose your radio code so make sure you have that or you can buy a saver that plugs into your cigarette socket, they use a 9volt battery which is enough to save the memory although you might have to keep the ignition on unless your socket is live all the time.

I have a 2014 model Warwick Duo and as far as I know this is more or less the same as the Sussex. There are no problems at all in changing the starter battery and no radio code is needed to be input as the code is stored in the BMI (Body Machine Interface) module and is automatically entered for you.

The biggest problem I faced was the weight of the battery, as I have a 'bad back' and the battery is no sack of feathers.

Hi Tengah.
Should be straight forward. The BCM (Body control module) holds all the codes so all should be fineĀ  up!
