MarkieB Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi there everyone, please could you help me? I need the plate weights to register in France; no sign of actual weights on the actual plate so far searching indicates gvw = 2720kg max including trailer = ? front axle = 1200kg rear axle = 1650kg apparently, even when they're not properly labelled, these are the 4 weights in order on all EEC plates, so perhaps a kind person could check theirs.. power = 93kw? the power figure is from a defender 300tdi, =111bhp, not necessarily original power; I just need the 'factory' wattage of a standard disco 300tdi cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I think the power is quoted as 83kw this is about 111bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkieB Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 I think the power is quoted as 83kw this is about 111bhp Thanks Steven, that sounds right at least; now I just need the towing weight.. I'm thinking 3500kg although should it be 2720+750=3470? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojmz Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 you can tow 3500 behind it with a braked trailer, 4 with coupled brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 From my RAVE info Discovery 300Tdi it says axle weights are Non additive but do not exceed max vehicle weight max front axle 1200kgs max rear axle 1650 kgs Vehicle total 2720 kgs towing weights inculding trailer unbraked on road 750 kgs off road 500 kgs over run braked trailer on road 3500 kgs off road 1000 kgs max gross including trailer/load = gross train weight which would be on road [Vehicle] 2720 + 3500 = 6220 kgs most likely not on the plate as Discovery are classed as cars not commercial vehicles just found that the front & rear & gross train weight & gross vehicle weights are only include on the VIN plate if required, maybe in the UK the train weight isn't required by law. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkieB Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thanks chaps, I think I'll put 6220kg then, just in case I ever need to tow a big trailer assuming that for a 4 tonne trailer the modification to allow coupled brakes would need adding to the registration according to the French system cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
