Interesting thread, and had me a little concerned after our car looking very well laden with roofbox on our last trip.

Have just looked ours up though and I have 630kg to play with (we have a Grand Scenic) and as the only people in the car that weigh anything are me and hubby I don't think I need to worry too much about the rest of the stuff going in there.

Wonder if the MIL realises about it though with her many IKEA purchases she makes then stuffs in the car to take back to the Isle of Man, I'm fairly certain they are well over the load limits on their car at times

i think people are worried over nothing, if the police pull you they obviously haven't anything better to do. Think the only people who are going to get pulled over are the ones with cars with back ends which are nearly scrapping on floor and wheels nearly rubbing on wheel arches, thats the folk who have a full car of passengers a  rammed boot, a full roof box and 5 bikes and towing. You see far too often but these are taking too much. Have a look while your loading.

IF IN DOUBT, LEAVE THE WIFE OUT

I now have a very upset daughter who is muttering rude words about people who panic over what things weigh but have done the weighing and find I have about 145 kg to spare.  Now what can I buy that weighs about 145kg?
