I've driven Perth to Melbourne before, but I did it in the winter last year. Now that it's summer, and going to be scorching hot, what kind of precautions and prep should I take?
I'll be leaving towards end of Jan to get to Perth by the beginning of Feb. I'm just worried about overheating the engine, as once the engine works a bit hard up hill, it never drops back down to a lower temp (according to the gauge). Is it worth fitting in a thermo fan to counter the crappy crank driven fan?
My cooling system is my only concern, so far, anyway.
