ok so next week im off to center parcs, gonna mean about 150 - 200 miles. This will be the longest drive for me yet, so apart from the obvious - in order of priority

sunglasses,

good music,

drinks,

sweets,

checking the air pressure in tyres,

checking the oil - water levels,

is there anything else i should make a point of checking?

2000 miles ago (3months) it had its 45k service before i bought it.

Is there anything im missing?

If you are off to Centre Parcs, then about another £400 to cover all the activities you might want to try. Only thing inclusive is the big pool, everything else is extra.

Cheers

Aye, the CP 'Supermarket' was well pricey last time I went.

Go Tesco or somewhere first to get things at decent prices.

Tread left on tyres

Road angel for Gatso's

Give your windscreen a good clean inside and out (try the autoglym stuff - works for me)

Wiper blades. Nothing worse than lines all over your screen if they are knackered...
