			Long trip coming up, servicing and things to check question
		
		
				
					
					
				
				
		
			
				
					Hi
My first post with a question.  I couldn't find a list of things to check on the forum, so I will ask and then compile a good list :-)
I am driving from Brisbane to the Great Ocean Road in two weeks, and have been going over the car.  ( Bought it recently off my dad, and I know he serviced it regularly and didn't treat it hard).
Its a 1994 300tdi Auto, uses no oil and has been serviced regularly.
What I have done so far:
Oil/Filter Change
New Injector Pump
New Rubber Donut on tail shaft
greased all places 
Brake fluid flush
New timing belt
new fan belts
the transmission was rebuild about 8 years ago and my mum has been driving it, so it should still be pretty healthy
What else should I check?
Thanks

					Few things come to mind.
- Cooling system, radiator, hoses in good condition? Does it have a low water alarm?
 - Check all wheel bearings, re grease them if needed
 - Diff and auto oil levels
 - Uni joints
 - Tyres and spare
 
I love my 300Tdi really good cruiser on the highway, enjoy your trip. If you have any dramas down Melbourne way yell out.

					thanks for the ideas.  i will let you know if I need help.
We are going to phillip island and then across to the great ocean road.  I was thinking of camping at Devils Kitchen, but I can figure out if you can take your 4WD there anymore
