Default Anyone know the Amazon estate's kerb weight?

Or curb weight if you prefer. A few sites list the saloon between 1050kg and 1100kg, I wondered what a standard-ish estate rolls around at.

From the estate handbook:

Quote:
Kerb weight (with full tank) - 1190 / 1200kg (2618 / 2640 lb)
Load capacity - 500 / 490kg (1100 / 1078 lb)
(Saloons are listed as being 1150 to 1180kg depending on type)

Ah it was in the estate handbook supplement, I went through the handbook to see where I'd missed it and found that. Thanks.

With a quarter tank of petrol, and two adults on board, mine is 1360kg according to the weighbridge on the way out from the local dump. Wish I'd thought to check the weight on the way in as the boot (with back seat folded down) was fully loaded with sacks full of rubble, but the rear ride height was barely lower than normal. Heavy duty rear springs FTW!
