Hoses rubbing check
Any general tips for rubbing hoses and pipes, checking before a long journey!
I've cut out the engine cover part but the coolant hose from the coolant tank seems to be tight up against the metal radiator pipes. Any other bits to be aware of!
Thanks for this awesome community.

I really must get more sleep (and some new specs). I clicked on this thinking that the title said "Horses Rubbing Cheek".
Anyway, as you clearly don't want to know about either equine dental disease or pinworms, I'll go away again. MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - with extra nice bits added
MY2019 D5 HSE 3.0 SDV6 - sold to a dealer for a crazy price! - So good I bought another!
MY2012 D4 HSE 3.0 SDV6 - retired to a new home

Check the park brake cables by the rear arms. There are metal loops they run through that wear out. Cheap and easy fix if you catch them early enough. A search on this site will probably provide more information and photos.

not sure your is affected but check bottom right corner of engine cover thing which tends to be very close to one of the hoses on some cars it would rub
