I'm about to set off on a 2hr drive to pick up an LSD from a 325 cab, how heavy are these, will I be able to lift it into the back of the car on my own?

Don't want to get there and have to turn round again

They're not light but unless you're particularly puny you should be able to lift it no problem.

Errr. Unfortunately a 10st weekling but I'll give it a go.

Makes me faster on track days though :-)

They are light enough to lift up by hand easily...less so when you are scrabbling around underneath your car on your back trying to lift the fooker in

This.

I'm not exactly a large chap and could move one around all day.

Getting the bastard in when your on your back is a whole different ball game.

+1!

You think this is bad trying lifting an M30 gearbox on the floor with your foot controlling the jack 8O :mad: lol
