I'm getting married at the end of July, for the honeymoon, we are planning on driving from Málaga to Athens, which via France and Italy then following coast roads from Croatia down is about 9000km return, plus incidental driving to see sights.
The car is in good condition throughout. 135000km. Timing belt has been done. I'm going to change the battery as it's 3-4 years old and will check hoses and aux belts over. Will give it an oil change, filters etc... I carry a reasonable toolkit and have a solar panel to top battery up.
Is there anything specific I should check, that gets overlooked? It's going to be longest trip I've done. We've got European breakdown cover, but some places like Albania and Bosnia are a bit of an unknown.
