[QUOTE="CrystalWhite, post: 1348102, member: 20629"] Hey all. I am new here so please forgive me if this is in the wrong section. Anyways, I am planning on driving across Canada, which is 5,500 km (~3,400 miles) in the next month or so and I am trying to make sure I am prepared for common issues. My car is a 95, with 67,000 km (~42k miles). I have only driven the car maybe 8,000 km in the last 5 years, so I am worried about issues popping up with such a long drive. Here's my current to do list: - Replace serp belt (original still on car and beginning to crack) - Replace rad/heater hoses (all original and some are looking a little swollen) - fill with fresh coolant - Replace crappy caster camber plates with MM ones (one bearing is seized) Here's what has been done recently: - Fresh oil and filter - Plugs - Cap and rotor - New balancer Are there some things that I am missing that would be good to do beforehand or that would be good to have with me for spares to get me out of a potential jam?
