Hello.
I have had the idea in mind for a few years to drive my camel trophy panda 4x4 down to Italy for the summer holiday, but have never actually gone through with it.
This year though it looks like the plans may actually come to fruition, mostly because I havn't booked a flight.
Therefore I'm wondering if there's any forum wisdom about recommended preparations for the car before I go, and any specific panda problems that may arrise when embarking on long journeys?
I'm in Stockholm and the place me and my family always go to is a town called Imperia in Liguria, so it's about a 2000km drive.
I have alot of previous roadtrip experience because we drove this very route with our family of nine in a 1990 VW bus between 2013 and 2017, but my dad was the one driving then. So I guess I'm more asking for specific panda advice.
And one final thing. I was thinking it may be a good idea to replace the carbon brushes in the alternator before I go (they hade to be changed in a parking lot on the bus one time) but havn't found any replacement ones on any spares supplier (ricambio and the likes). Any advice there?
All the best,
Albert
