Last time I drove to Spain petrol was MUCH cheaper just over the Border from France so run the tank down before crossing the Border.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys just needed some advise I will most probably be driving to spain torrevieja next week and wonder if anyone has any advise ie preperation for the car prior to leaving. I also wanted to know if the sea air will affect the paintwork

POST 2Original post

Last time I drove to Spain petrol was MUCH cheaper just over the Border from France so run the tank down before crossing the Border. Roads are good, towns can be slow/busy but not oppressive to drive around. Don't imagine the sea air any different from ours. Just don't park on the sea front and get sand blasted. Enjoy

POST 3Original post

As well as the usual car checks, tyres, oil, water you will also need the following; Adjust the headlights or apply tape/stickers to the lenses to block the beam, Carry in the car First aid kit, warning triangle and spare bulb kit. In Spain you need 2 high visibility jackets and if you wear glasses a spare pair. Euros for toll roads and speeding fines in France - payable on the spot Lots of energy drinks. It should take about 18hours of driving. Are you stopping overnight or going for the non-stop marathon? Rgds, Kevin

POST 4Original post

I just got back from visiting my buddy who lives in that part of Spain (didn't drive) and one thing I noticed but don't know if it applies to visiting vehicles is that there needs to be, by regulation, a reflective jacket in the car so the driver (or person fixing any roadside breakdown) can be seen. I know Scouser recently did the journey so I guess he would know all the things you need.
