Long road trip

Hi all, taking the beast out for a long (12+hours) trip for the holidays soon.
So before leaving I would like to inspect the car for any problems BONGS that might occur.
So besides from all the car fluids, tyres and brakes (just installed new discs and pads). Also did a visual inspection to the air pockets, they all look in good shape.
What else would you look out for?

New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

Pietertje, the airbags tend to crack in the fold over and even at off road height that is virtually impossible to see. Still I would give it a try and see if you can open up the fold over a bit and look in.

Even in het Nederlands. De balgen maken een soort van S-bocht en bij mijn 4.2 SC zaten daar alle scheuren in toen er eentje "ging". Ik hoorde de lek maar kon niets zien totdat we de hele veerpoot eruit haalden en met een compressor de balg opbliezen. Een en als scheuren in de verticale richting (zelfde richting als de veerpoot). Als ze net zo oud zijn als de auto dan is het risico dat ze slecht zijn erg groot. Mijn SC was van 2006 en de voorste balgen gingen ongeveer 2 a 3 jaar geleden, de hitte van Texas en Nigeria zullen overigens een flink tol geeist hebben dat je in NL niet ziet Smile.

Goede reis en veel plezier. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Thanks Ebajema!
Tomorrow I will drive her to the garage so I can have a good look.
I think it has been discussed before but do you think it's worth the effort of maintaining the rubber air struts with some rubber care?

Will try to make some nice pics Stan Smile 2002 L322 V8
