Weighing my car
Looking to but a car trailer, and wanted to know what the car weight is.
Now, its not running at the moment, and even if it was, I have not been able to find a public weigh bridge any where near where I live.
So, how do I weigh my car at home
I was thinking of using a pair of bathroom scales with a block of wood under one wheel at a time, with a similar height piece of wood under the other
three wheels.
Would the results be any near accurate?
any better ways?
any weigh bridges near Scarborough?
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
By that time, who cares.
You're a mile away, and you've got his shoes

Local councils and scrap merchants have weighbridges
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

what about getting another 3 scales so you have one under all the wheels?

Do you need to know it that exactly tho? Surely just an educated guess would be enough?
What car, what engine and what level of trim should get an accurate enough guess to get a trailer that's suitable. You don't want it too
close to it's limit anyway.

The council refuse site near me has one. They weigh trucks in and out to see how much junk they are bringing in.

The bathroom scales should be fine, if you're not looking for 0.01% accuracy.

we tried 4 bathroom digital scales, but they turned off to quickly to get all 4 switched on and zero, then read the results!
