Need help...

I am going on a vacation in 2 weeks and I'll be taking my car. I know there's things I've been putting off for a while, but should get done before I go. I have to get the brakes done. Also the Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and thermastat. The guy who owned the car b4 me... well since new. Nothing has really been done, even in repairs. So what else needs to get done for a tune up? I have 170k KM on it. Any info on this would help.

Thanks,
Jay

check rearend fluid, flush radiator, pressurize cooling system and check for leaks,maybe consider replacing hoses, put coolant not water back in cooling system, maybe a new serpentine belt, change oil, grease every zirk fitting, and drive safely.

Just some suggestions.

I would suggest changing all of your fluids, and also to make sure any hoses with cracks are changed. get new radiator hoses and clamps, and put them on after you draid the radiator fluid, and before yoiu refill it.
