I've got to pick up my daughters Astra from Elgin in Scotland and intend to bring it home on a trailer (they hit a deer unfortunately) so I have been trying to find the Kerb and Gross Train weights for my 2000 18T Octavia to make sure I'm within limits. I can't find it anywhere in the handbook but there is a sticker on the n/s/f suspension turret with some figures on but need to confirm. Any help would be appreciated.

You could try info in #3.
