Kerb weight of the car

Post by **Onne** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 9:42 pm

I was just wondering what the kerb weight is of the different models.

This because it says my Mm is only 572 kilo's whereas my SII is 672 kilos. I can't think of why there would be a 100 kilos difference

Nah, the unlaiden weight of a 2 door MM is 787kg. 764kg for the 2 door 1000.

786kg for the 4 door 1000 and 826kg for the fat-boy traveller!

It also says the weights are 'approximate' and that the MM and SII weigh approximately the same.

Just over 1 and a half tons, very approximately. More than I thought...

I have 779kg listed for the 6-CWT vehicles (van AND pickup) but they can't be the same can they?

What is just over 1 and a half tons? 2 Minors?

764 Kg - but bear in mind quite how often I failed my Maths 'O' level... Oh, and re. LCVs - I don't see how they can, certainly.

LATER

, I should have HALVED the weight in Kilos to give the weight in Lbs, shouldn't I...

Yes, that value is correct if you take the reciprocal (1/x). Which points to a halving/doubling or multiply/divide error.

Do you happen to know the LCV weights? I only have a 6-CWT handbook. My only link to an LCV at the moment!

I'll have a look.

The workshop manual for the 6 and 8 cwt gives the weight as 1,730 lbs. (785 kg) kerbside and 1,615 lbs (732 kg) licensing. Quite what the 'licensing' weight is, I don't know, but I'm sure someone here will. And if you thought you'd baffle me with this reciprocal 1/x stuff... You were right!

and it does not differentiate between van and p'up?

Post by **bigginger** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 10:50 pm

No, it doesn't. The Van is 2 and a quarter inches taller than the pick-up though...

How do you read it?

My handbook is a shade over 50 grammes . . .

I have an army of smart a*ses to turn the heavy pages over for me!

Just another mistake of the dutch DVLA then.

Elisabeth is 761 kilo's, but I don't know what is included in the measurements. (Fuel, oil, coolant, children, dog)
