Just to bring this up to date it had no problem with the original slabs.
Then last week when I was at Jewsons I bought a paving pack (12m sq of limestone slabs - 800 kg) which they loaded into the back of the Omega using the forklift truck.
It only just fitted in 9they said it wouldnt) and with most of the weight over the rear axle it really had it laden down (but still manageable!).

800 kg!

So I just took is nice and easy on the run home was fine but wouldnt recommend doing it again!

Cattle rustling in an Omega 

That would make a good episode of Road Wars

I'm glad you told me the weight, I also brought a limestone pack home in my TD estate, pumped the back tyres up to 50, and drove 40 miles home very gingerly. What a car!

When we moved into this house the garden was 1 foot higher than the path. I was loading 20 rubble sacks full of soil and stones every day every journey from late March until the end of October. It was a 2.5 CDX year 1999. The weight never bothered the car. It did not affect the suspension at all. What an amazing car to put a lot of weight in. We're all still talking about it to this day. Saved us a fortune not having to hire skips etc.
