Years ago, i bought a job lot of 100 second hand (ex city-council) paving slabs, to build a patio. I borrowed the works 22cwt Transit (which already had 200k miles on the clock) to get them the 20 miles home, which I did in 2 trips. The poor tranny really struggled on the hills, with clouds of black smoke coming out of the exhaust and I wondered why, so I weighed one slab - 114lb!
The poor van were never the same after that - the engine blew up about a week later.

Aye - Had a feeling I would need to do more than one run - and yes I have a towbar - Like a numpty I never thought of getting a trailer though.
And all because B&Q etc will only deliver to the trade.

You know that's not a bad idea - I am new to the area and don't have a clue where to go - but i might delay the job a week or so and do some research

just phone a few up pay with yer card and they'll deliver to yer house.
2000 bricks from our local Jewsons costs £13 to deliver and they av one of those long reach cranes things that'll plonk em allmost anywhere on your plot - it'd cost ya that to get your leather armrest valeted if you carted them home ya self

Max payload for the Freelander is 480kg
What Van? - Full Road Test
Lay some plywood over the fuel pump housing to spread the load, I would suggest a tarpaulin or old sheets to catch most of the dust. They could tip if they are not stacked correctly, a pallet of bricks is usually shrink wrapped.
I have had well over 500kg of lead in the back, Td4 will take it no problem.
delivery is probably best option though

would a whole pallet of brick physically fit through the tailgate, both width and height, including the height of the pallet ?
good way to f*ck the interior too, even if its ply lined. Lots of experience of ruining the interior of good cars and vans with stuff

Depends on the size of the pallet, what I meant was.... He will probably have to unpack the bricks from the pallet load up in the back. could be a bit awkward trying to shrink wrap them inside the vehicle. I wouldnt fancy braking hard and having half dozen bricks fly into the back of my seat or me.
Wigleytuff - you have the commercial right?
There is a slightly wider deck space inbetween the wheel arches in the commercial, only a few inches though. Interior trim in the commercial sits tighter to the arch thats all.
