Has anyone actually put their RWD Volvo on a weighbridge?
If so, can you tell me what it weighed? And a quick run-down of the mods that relate to vehicle weight?
I have a suspicion that Volvo's published weights are lower than reality, and am trying to confirm or deny that.

My 740t wagon consistently was around 1600kg with me on board, tools etc.

I weighed my 1991 240GLE wagon - with 50L petrol in the tank, it was 1380 kg. 700 front, 680 rear. Being a GLE it has power windows/locks/AC, and auto trans, as well as "extra weight" items such as beefier ipd sway bars, DVS strut tower brace and 17-inch alloy wheels with wider tyres.

My 240 sedan weighed 1390kg when I weighed it for engineering. The 245 weighed 1270 of something close to that when it got a blue slip.
