Soon to be adventure in my 930
I'm planning a long drive in my 930 in July. Going from Northern Idaho to Southern California . . . about 1200 miles. Hoping to do it over three days, so I won't be in any hurry. I'd like to know what are the recommended 'spares' to carry with me . . . just in case. The car is in great condition, but has never been on a long drive like this over several days.
I should also add this is a 1978 930 and it is factory original stock.
Are there any known electrical issues?
Any mechanical issues that I should prepare for?
Thanks for all feedback.

Bring a spare relay or two. Also you might do a search on the fuse circuit for the fuel pumps as they can cause intermittent problems as the fuseholders age. A spare fanbelt for the cooling fan is a good idea; make sure you know how to change and adjust the tension with the shims. Ditto on the radar detector! Other than that, they are great, reliable cars.
