Having just taken mine out, I reckon its in the region of about 200+ kilos. Was on a pallet and I could just about pull it.

me and my dad managed to get one in and out of the back of a land rover so I reckon maybe a bit lighter than that but not far off

I'm going to have a rough guess and say it's about 160kg. Was more or less the same as what I used to lift at the gym.

My dads an animal and moved the engine.

If you could actually get hold of it it is possible to lift it on your own! But coz of size etc its impossible.

Well he managed it. By the manifold I'd assume.

You can all lift 160kg on your own?
