take some scrap in your car, they weigh you before and you dump it after at some places and pay you based on the difference

Depends if you go to one at a scrap metal place, or one at a flour mill or quarry.

I had my Corsa weighed at a flour mill and it was free.

VOSA have a few around too, if you want to chance it

yeah, need to be careful with VOSA, one little thing wrong with your car and they'll throw the book at you.

Just jack it up and place a set of bathroom scales under each wheel then let it down.

Job done.

The one local to me is free. Just find one of those places that are next to the motorway and use that.

I reckon it would work tbh.

All that weight he has stripped out, would barely tickle the scales.

Be perfect for corner weighting it too.
