It's a legal requirement to carry spare lightbulbs in many European countries. I also carried spare belts and an extra spare wheel when I went out to Turkey a few weeks ago. |

A 3.1
Seriously I would give it a proper good service like I would do yearly anyway ALL fluids, grease gun on all the nipples check brake pads
depending on type of driving motorway or mountains maybe chuck in a new set of pads
I have a 3.0ltr as well and the misses clocks about 7000 a year, we don't carry a boot full of spares an the car doesn't know the difference
between a 2 mile run and a 200 mile run so I don't see why yours if it is normally reliable that it wouldn't be on a good long run.
I would however defo purchase an International Breakdown and Recovery Card as already said, again both mine are covered by flux recovery
Good luck on your trip mate and think positive thoughts _________________ aka x66dag
