All the usual stuff on my list, assuming the scoob is fine for the trip. Had it serviced today including gearbox/diff oil, geo tweaked, new front drop links as the old ones were duff and it feels much better on the front end, more responsive.

Only possible issue were the chunks of metal stuck to the gearbox drain magnet but the gearbox oil has done 30,000 miles/5 years. Could have happened last week, could have happened years ago. Not making any noises in any gears that are different to how its sounded forever so I'll be keeping an eye on it (or on the lookout for a replacement box...)

[ScoobyStu]

Service and maybe an oil cooler. Hopefully nothing else! Got to get Euro recovery and insurance also. Got a Euro Travel kit coming with all the necessary bits I need to drive through Europe. Thinks that's it, other than Euros of course. Actually flying to Nuremburg next Wednesday morning to watch United play Bayern Munich!

I do hope Liz gets well soon..

Has Harry packed his bag yet??

[Bolesroor]

Thanks Ian, Liz`s mobility is improving but not sure if there are enough days left though?

As for H he is on standby, just have to book his days off and as I can do that for him it shouldn`t be a problem, just not sure about the sleeping arrangements or if the bed will be big enough?

I'm happy to make lots of stops on the journey down with you if that makes things easier and enables Liz to come along. It wouldn't be the same without her there!

[thepieman]

Will be a shame if Liz can't make it but health comes first

2: Headlight beam deflectors (ordered)
3: Update my sat nav (can't, its too old)
4: Check all the tyre pressures.
5: brake down recovery with repatriation.
6: have a chat with Mr G Moulson
7: Order euros
8: Buy rear brembos and discs/pads/oversized shoes. (Done)

10. Wash car.

OK, so I stole Ian's list then added to it... plenty to do then!

[ScoobyStu]

Your list is pretty similar to mine Steve. Need to pull my finger out. Also my other car has it's MOT tomorrow and know it's failed on a hydraulic pipe, just hope it's not too expensive to fix. Then the Scoob goes off to my bodyshop mate to fit new front poo guards and refit fog covers. Then i need to get it to SMD to get oil and filter changed and pray to god they don't find anything else that needs doing. Other than all that, I'm good to go.hahahaha.

Oh yeah, they both run out of tax at the end of the month....

[ScoobyStu]

Can anyone tell me how much the euro cover including track day and recovery will be roughly please?
