Curb weight of 94 Savannah Estate - Retro-Renault

MadHatter · 10th May 2007, 06:01 PM

Hi there,

I cant seem to find the curb weight of a 94 Savannah TD LS Estate anywhere, I'm possibly getting one second hand but would like to know if it will be heavy enough that I wont be able to tow a 75O kg trailer without upgrading my license.

So does anyone know?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I reckon it should be OK. I learnt to drive in one with a towbar lol. The savanna has one of the longest wheelbases of cars at the time iirc. Not sure if the engine might be a little lacking in power though?

Haynes manual would tell you the kerb weight if anyone's got one handy on here?

Either way, nice mobile!

Cheers "The T.I.B", sounds good.

The owners have said its no speed demon but I'm not looking for anything sporty, its going to be a work horse for me and my kayaking buddies as a paddle wagon. So it needs to be reliable, economic and easy to repair with limited skills and tools.

Does anyone have a haynes manual to find out the kerb weights?

Cheers,

Nick

I have one but it'll be tomorrow before I can give you the weights for sure.

At a guess it'll be 1200 - 1300kg's though.

Thanks very much, so the car plus a max 750 kg trailer wont be over 2.5 tons total.

Brilliant, thank you all very much.

Well with a 750kg trailer, to go over 2.5 tons would mean the car would have to be more than 1750kg...!

**Chris H** · 11th May 2007, 10:13 AM

well got the haynes here petrol

lightest savanna (1.7 petrol 5 seater) 1015kg's (thats fecking light)

heaviest savanna TXE 7 seater 1175kg's

So they are all under 1200kg's heaviest models is the saloon turbo (quadra's heavier but no figures) at 1190kg's

wow the eatate is light...

Thats what I was hoping, being able to take 4 boats on the roof, 3 inside and another 6 or seven in a trailer will be a bonus for my uni club and me.

Lets hope the 2nd hand one I'm off to see in a min isn't a total rust bucket. Its the TD estate I'm looking at, a 94 model.

Thank you all. Thats awesome news.

Renault savanna? Rust?

Good luck, buy it anyway!

Well there was one patch of rust under the drivers side door, but its small and I've dealt with worse on a metro. The rest of the rust was around the bottom of the windows mainly in the corners, and thats cosmetic only really so I shall be off to halfords for touch up paint and when I get it home I'll get started with an angle grinder and body filler.

But for £495 I can't complain. Its a good runner and while not exactly fast, it was pretty nippy in the lanes.

hhhhhmmmm....... i'll have to check the rovers weight........

sparky33 · 12th May 2007, 10:47 PM

Depends how rusty it is..lol

Gentle Ben · 12th May 2007, 10:57 PM

That is quite fucking light for an estate actually!

Bet it'd shift quite well with a decent 16v engine in it.

Excellent, it would be great to get some pics up here
