im not sure off my head, ive got one out in the shed, just havent got any scales.
i just want to say, in case you get tempted by there cheap prices.
DO NOT use Net2logistics. they used to be called postvan, untill they went bankrupt or something.
They WILL ripp you off. I found out the hard way

[carsounds_dan]

okies, a rough guess on weight would be great and would it fit within a 60x100x120cm space?
cheers

i can measure it for you dude, but me birds kitchen scales just aint up to the job!

[jake]

alrite, size is ( if its sitting flat on the sump,+2 cms with the sump bolt)

43cm wide / 47cm long / 49 cms tall
and ill have a guess of about 35 to 40 kg, thats with startor and water pump etc...
hope that helps

just out of interest, where's it got to go from and to? you never know if someone here might be able to help you out.

I've just had a 35kg package delivered to me here in Norn Iron from Leicestershire..............by DHL

They were totally crap would you believe they went to the wrong address left a card and it was only when I phoned and had to argue with them did they admit to that. Then I was told (after a long discussion with at least 5 people) where I could go to pick up my package. I got their with my photo ID as requested and the guy ( a real tw*t of a jobsworth) told me he would NOT get my package for me and that I should leave..........................

It took about 2 hours on the phone yesterday to have somebody simply walk into the warehouse and find my package even then the guy was most unhelpful and had to be persuaded to get off his fat butt and go and look.

Their computerised phone system is screwed up I spent 20 minute stuck in a loop trying to get to the to a person and when I did get a person they passed the buck to someone else until I got cut off

NEVER NEVER ever use DHL they are 5hit

BTW the contents of my package are wonderful I just love it..............

was he irish? if so i can understand the lazynuss

tbh i've herd bad things about DHL as well, my dad had a lot problems with them as well getting a item from the USA
