I thought Kerb weight was what we are talking about. You can only get one figure from a weighbridge.


what i was meaning was it can't be weights with random amounts of petrol etc, all fluids should be full :D hell empty tank my car would be about 1215is KG :D

Tell me about it, if anyone has preached about how to weigh a car on a weighbridge, it has been me.

full petrol so you can be accurate and subtract the weight of fuel.

My stripped out SC was 1040kg with full fuel
my mk1a na was 1080kg with full fuel
Mark's SC SE was 1160kg with full fuel
