Amount of junk you have to take for Europe these days...
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/803897/Omega/Austria/2013-01-08%2015.38.03.jpg)
Haynes Book bllox, First Aid Kit, Fire Extinguisher, High Vis Vests (these 2 inside car), Jump leads, warning triangle, bulb kit, headlight adapters & pair of breathalysers. As I've got them also taking set of chains. Although already have winter tyres.
In addition to above, taking:

Halfords 150 set, as space is not really at a premium. Sods law I'll need one spanner/socket i leave behind. Also taking breaker bar, pliers, screwdrivers, box of spare fuses, known good spark plugs, spare coil pack & my LPG adaptors.
Paperwork wise, all insurance docs and my log book.
Most of this will sit behind the LPG tank :)
Just need to fit all my snowboarding and mates Ski gear in now ::)

Kitchen sink? ;)

Thanks :y
Not going for around 2 weeks yet, but due to various reasons this is one of my best times to get things sorted.
-
Top up your Halfords set, and take some screwdrivers.
BTW, have you found your missing 8mm 1/4" socket yet, up the drive or around the road? I have a rattle, but its from inside the cabin, so not your socket ;D
-
Would pop a trolley jack in as well :y
Will be quicker, and therefore safer should you need to fit the chains or change a wheel :y
-
And some humbugs ::) , looks like your all sorted :) :)

Some gloves if you haven't already , a tent and some sleeping bags together with essential vacuum dried food :-\

Have you tried fitting those lidl chains yet, in case you need too?

Taking screwdrivers shown, think I need to take more? :-\
Did look on the road and around the drive, nothing found :(

Not yet, should really. But as I've got winter tyres and i'm staying on main roads don't think i'll need them really.

Don't think MrsT would take too kindly to that ;)
Never actually changed a HBV before :-[

And MOT certificate

Thought it was just log book? Never taken MOT cert to Euroland ??? :-\

Is there a certain sensor missing from the list ??? I thought all V6 owners carried one and a suitable torx screwdriver ..... :)

Not taking that thirsty V6, taking the 2.2 as its half the cost to fuel! :)

Have a damn good look around the cooling fan covers Mark, I found my 12mm socket when it got shook loose over a 'Sleeping Policeman' & went through the bleedin' radiator! A definate case of the Sh*t hitting the fan! ::) ;D
Oh, & BTW, are you not taking any spare sensors, the usual culprits spring to mind ??? :D
-
Should have all the car documents ;)
I'd photocopy D/L, Passport, breakdown cover cert and all insurance paperwork so you have copies too ;)

Not really... Gives a little backup if anything is lost/stolen or collected by a dodgy Gendarme ;)
-
Thanks all, yes going to take all documents.
Will check fan area :y
Topped up PAS fluid today as that was mega low, changed brake fluid, flush through with fresh & topped up coolant. (first time in around 4k)
I thought I had a spare cam sensor, although it was nackered anyway.

take blankets with you.. if you are blocked on a snowy mountain passage, you may wait long hours and finish the fuel..

Thought about it, got one. But we will have a boot full of winter gear, thermals, snowboarding jackets, boots & trousers. Should keep us warm if needed :)

ALL docs needed. If you do have to produce docs for car at any time you'll need it.
