Iirc the Estate rear end is a little bit lower with the weight. But someone will know for certain

yeah estates are a fair bit lower as standard, also if its a later estate it may well have 21mm TBs

take a picture with it empty and on flat ground, I'll be able to tell if it's roughly standard.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

90% of all the estates i've seen have knackered rear beams anyway, maybe to due the extra weight they carry.

it could have a problem with excess weight in past, as it has a towbar fitted
