FridgeFreezer Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just for fun, 'cos I know what I guessed the weight might be, and I now know the real world numbers, I'm interested to see what people guess. The truck: Series 3 109" CSW V8 + R380 + LT230 Volvo portals 37x12.50 tyres including the spare in the back 2/3 tank of fuel ~100kgs of cr*p in the back Yours truly sat in the driver's seat (+65kgs ) Let's have your guesses then, bonus points for showing your workings out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 2342kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSheds Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Calculating... Calculating... Nearly there... OK - I reckon 2346.237 Kg (Assuming you have air and not Nitrogen in your tyres) Actually I have absolutely no idea Edit - strangely I came up with that figure with consciously registering White90's suggestion...

Turbocharger Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Clean or dirty? Has that sidelight lens been replaced? How can we be expected to work with these inexact descriptions? (1965 kg with normal air in the tyres) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I won't try working it out as the first time I weighed mine I calculated it as just under 2000 when it was actually 2300. I'll go for 2450 Kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I reckon the unladen weight of a 109 petrol motor is 1500 kg Plus 60 kg extra for the V8 20 kg for the gear boxes 1 litre of petrol is 0.7 kg - so 2/3 of a series ((68 x 2/3) x 0.7) = 31. 7 kg 165 kg for person and kit portals 100kg - partly for the robust conversion work done ... 25 kg extra for the tyres 10 kg for the wheels... 1911.7 kg ...
