going to france

[gr4eme]

Hi to all old and new
Glad to see so many new members enjoying their cars, people looking for advice, and enjoying the site (its what its all about)

I'm going to france in early-mid june so what do i need to check before I go list so far:
2 new bottles of the tyre weld
breakdown cover
green card (insurance)
tyre pressure
tyre geometary?
oil/water etc
brakes + disks
BHP and torque figures in french

Im sure theres much more but i'm drawing a blank

- Make sure your breakdown cover is 5*.
- Take a selection of spare fuses & bulbs.
- Warning triangle, not just the one stuck on the underside of your bootlid.
- A few tools, selection of sockets, screwdrivers, torch, small can of WD40.
- A few old rags, etc etc.

Fuses and possibly a spare throttle cable, just incase. Would also recommend insulating tape, chewing gum...and a recent service.

Taken the Tuscan to France many times, great fun away from the motorways. As well as what's already been mentioned I also carry a spare throttle cable.

This site is worth a visit for radar site locations:
