I'm about to do a 1200 mile return journey to the French Alps, with family, in the 88 745GLE(non turbo) wagon. It's now done 175k, driven carefully by me/wife since 85k and is in pretty good shape. The following items are original and I keep wondering if they should be replaced to be safe - what would you guys do?

Main fuel pump (no excessive noise)
Propshaft(driveshaft) centre bearing (rubber not cracked)
Universal joints (no noticeable vibration and feel tight)
Radiator (no leaks)

I've posted before about reliability of higher mileage cars and most of you "trust" your 740's. Should I quit worrying and just enjoy the ski-ing!?
