Does anyone know what's the max weight for the estate boot to handle?
I plan to take some "rail sleepers"(i hope this is the expression for the wooden horizontal columns under the tracks) to drive a car on them for oil change and some easy works under my omega. Total weight of four is a bit less than 400 kg, they are 8 feet long (two feet too long I know). It's the cheapest solution compared to jack stands and similar. And a nice workout for my S/L suspension
Thanks, Stan
In the boot of my MV6 estate with the S/L rear shocks i had 2 125kg 7ft Co2 bottles inc all my tools a pipe cutting machine 100kg of pipe on the roof full tank of fuel & i could even bounce up & down on towbar & all ok
But word of warning before you do just jack the car up on 2 jacks under rear body lifting wheels off the ground & check both S/L rear shock airbags for any kind of splits!! mainly on area you calnt see when on the ground!! if theres any signs of splits i WOULD NOT load rear too much!! as i found out the hard way about a week later when both of mine started leaking & then burst!! but at £180 each quoted by vauxhall bam exspensive if u fk them & ive been looking last 3weeks for replacements & nobody has any!!

if there good should take about 400kgs on the rear but be carefull not to overload rear axel weight or ull get a heavy fine if you/someone has an accident ur involved in!! altho it will carry the weight is it worth your licence if you get stopped!!
