It's not so much the size of the battery but the cranking power. My van is a sprinter and it's got a type 100 battery. Common on transits and what not a pretty powerful, but I still have to wait for glow plug light to go out then crank it over a few times before she starts.

With a diesel as long as you give it heat it should be fine :)
