Diff, how heavy ?

[omegod]

Random I know but estimated weight of a 2.2 Petrol Diff, prize for the nearest guess  need to estimate postage before I have chance to remove the bugger

[Doctor Gollum]

8.675 kgs

...ish

Its a lot heavier than that. I weighed one years ago but cant remember the figure now. I would guess between 30 - 40kgs ?

I would say between 40 to 45 Kg, without fluid.

Both hands needed to fit, remove with jack / support assistance, once removed and in a Bag can easierly be carried with one hand, without arm falling off.

I'm thinking 25-30 kg from last time I lifted one, hoping to avoid needing a pallet for delivery as I have a tough plastic crate that may be strong enough

Pack it in snug though, otherwise first knock will crack the plastic

My sensible guess would be around the 25kg mark

That'll be a first    , yeah I'll pack it well.

I guess about 35lbs, 16kilos. I the morning I will weight one.

[Mr Gav]

I would say 25Kg, manual box is around 50Kg 

[omegod]

And the answer is, 28.6 kg ! it's going on a pallet by the looks of it as there's more parts being added to the order

I didn't think it could be as heavy as 45Kg (as suggested in one post) - the XJ40 diffs are in that area and they're cast iron lumps.. I'm sure one of them is responsible for my hernia!

[mandula]

27,5 kg.

This one's responsible for me having a sore neck, on a plus side the diff mounts are in perfect condition so should garner a few quids
