Woah. Close!
I was going to guess 45! [smug mode]

I'd say it varies: When carrying it whilst standing up it's quite light. Whilst lying underneath the car and trying to lift it up, it mysteriously gains a good few pounds

It gains at least a stone when trying to lift it off your chest for the fourth time!

Hence why you always take the lump out given the choice!

Boxes are a, well they're not nice to remove.

I did two gearbox swaps in as many months due to a poor recon of the first replacement (very noisy). Each time I did it from under the car, what a mug. Never again, I'd swear buy the time box two went in, it weighed 200 Lbs. If there is a next time, the engine is coming out with the front off the car.
