I bought my omega last month which came with a full service history, strangely though not main dealer, anyway, i will be driving it down to spain in three weeks time and was wondering if there is anything i should be doing to it or checking before i go. I plan to do about 3000+ miles in the space of 3 weeks so any advice welcolme. Also can anyone recommend a european breakdown cover.
cheers. 
This is a trip I do at least once a year, good preparation is the key, members on the forum will know more than me about the nuts and bolts.Carry the obvious things,spare fan belt, oil, bulbs and nowadays a high viz coat which you must wear if you get out on the motorway.Also the tyre tread limit is different, I think it is 3mm not 1.6 as in the UK. I get my breakdown cover with QUOTELINE DIRECT. £59 for the year, 24/7/365 cover at home and up to 90 days abroad, it is with Mondial Assistance. You must have your car checked by a vat registered garage 14 days before the trip, but it is something most drivers would do anyway. I have never had to use them so can't tell you what the service is like if you do break down.It is internet only,
www.quotelinedirect.co.uk, print your own certificate and do your own amendments without waiting on a phone line. Have a nice holiday
