galois Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Just comleted the first big trip in my new(ish) purchase, bit of a dry run for the forthcoming two week trip to Ireland. Good news: a lot of fun and luggage racked worked beautifully (thanks to Paul Ash). Luggage was stable up to motorway speeds. Bad news: Wheel studs were loose and broke on the return journey. Fortunately car is in one piece! Alternator was bodged on and working loose. Lessons learned: Double check all bolts, etc before you leave! Long journeys can be done in style and comfort, but be prepared to drive a bit slower than normal or take some earplugs for the wind noise.
