    You trying to weigh it in?, don't get fobbed off, I went to a couple of yards with a cat off an S60 and got told by a few that it wasn't worth much more than a tenner, eventually tried another and got nearer £60 for it.

    selling it to some guy in Fife for £20 (+£40 postage).......but the better i get the postage, the more i make

    £60 sounds tempting tho although i have just sent him an invoice ah well, wasn't out to make money, just get something back so if he accepts I expect carriage to be about £100 lol

    Most of the yards I took mine to tried telling me it was nearly worthless because it was an aftermarket one, pretty hard to argue when it's got Volvo stamped on it and I removed it from the car myself.

    S'funny that's exactly what I got told and they tried to offer me around a tenner, hence why I shopped around a bit.

    Giles,

    Why don't you use the bathroom scales ? 1) weigh yourself. 2) weigh yourself while holding cat. 3) 2)-1)=Cat. Easy.

    Yes mate, i always use them, 15kg is a load more, but at least you know the weight, if you use the UPS link sometimes the 48 deliveries get delivered the next working day.
