Pre Road trip checks, what preparations should I do?

Hullo,

I'm doing a trip to Wales and back next weekend; will be about 900 miles ish in total, mostly motorway and A roads.

Asside from the usual oil, coolant, tyres are there any Hippo specific things I should check on in advance to prevent any unpleasant surprises on route?

Thanks as allways

prop ujs.

Fuel? For you and the car!

AA membership ?

a can of steal seal if its a petrol

TBH I would give the whole thing a good check..............don't forget your rosary beads

You wait. Someone will post "Check it's got a DISCOVERY badge on the back.

can't wait for them to do that..................it'll be bleddy hilarious

Having just done a 700 mile trip in mine a few days ago.

Check all the fluids, oil, coolant and make sure the washers are topped up as you can go through loads of it at times. Check all tyre pressures inc spare.

Take some spare bulbs just incase and have an RAC/AA card. Just incase.

Otherwise, i just filled with Vpower diesel and 2 stroke and stuck some decent tunes on the ipod for the wireless transmitter thingy.

Splendid, thanks for the tips.

I'm surprised no hillarious people from the other areas of the forum have said "make sure the doors don't fall off/ check you've got your hairdresser's kit etc"
