Anyone know how much weight my 280 Estate could safely carry in the back with the seats down. Just me and one front passenger.

715kg is the maximum payload of a 280 estate but that'll be in total, across both axles...

 

I assume you don't have the variable boot floor? This has a restriction of something like 75kg when in the high position.

Wow ! Well first time I have had the car totally full..... Arrived to pick stuff up with the Mrs and she said no way is all that going in the car..... It did ! The thing is like a bloody Tardis !

I too am impressed with just how much will go in.  Even managed to get a 50" TV (out of its box) vertically!

There is a downside to this...

 

when going camping ping we now take too much crap which I say we won't use and don't.

 

when we go to holland/ Germany... we also take too much crap which again does not get used... on a plus point I don't need a roof box ... I have told the mrs I can't buy the roof bars yet as it's a new car....... lol .... see how long that lasts...

I can supply evidence to the contrary if needed, you know, just in case......... 

What like this 🤣🤣
