Well I will shortly be setting off on my little road trip. About a hundred miles or so, murderous heat, plenty of BIG hills. Off to Malaga Airport.

Preparation?

Oil checked
Water topped up as it is using especially without the air con on. HBV ?
Tyres kicked and pumped up in anticipation of extra bodies and their luggage.
Sandwiches
Cold drinks
Hat
Two bunches of grapes just picked off the vine
The latest Faithless CD
Sunglasses and spare pair for Mr Guardia Civil (cops)
More cold drinks in cooler box
Exorbitantly expensive Boiled sweets in a round tin
Stack of coins for parking meter.
Camera in case I see anything interesting

That should do it. Lets hope the gear selector switch or limp mode doesn't come back.

Wish me luck!

Good luck!

Have a great trip

Will the Guardia Civil kindly relieve you of a pair of sunglasses if you are stopped?

Good luck Varche.. and in case sun comes directly at you, wet your hair.. You will feel better..

Well got back safe and sound late last night.

I love my Omega now it has self healed! Don't know what has happened last Thursday but it has more power , smooth and the throttle feels light. I suspect that maybe a wiring issue (rear multi ram?) has sorted itself. For years I have just lived with the problem after failed efforts to cure.

There is a long long climb inland out of Malaga with the last bit being 1 in 4. I actually accelerated up that rather than the normal "kept my fingers crossed as to whether it would get up". No selector switch weirdness either.

I am one happy person today.
