It will love it! You will probably have a bigger leak on the crankshaft seal when you come back though.
it will be the return journey that will be harder - it is all up hill
What oil are you using? anything "thinner" than a 10w40 will find a weak seal. I would caution against seal renewal since the crank pulley can?? be tricky to remove. In addition the shaft can be worn requiring a subtle repositioning of the new seal/ lip to avoid further leakage.
Some folks get crank pulleys off easily and others struggle. If its leaking with a 10w40 than I don't think "thickening up" the oil will help besides which thickening up the oil may just cause other problems.
what about those "stop leak" addatives? i know the opinions on these vary, but it cant hurt to try just once?
Under no circumstances should you attempt this trip in such a relic. A gentle jaunt from London to Brighton maybe with a backup team in a van, but crossing Borders! What are you thinking. Get yourself a new 211 (good pcp deals to be had I hear) and pension the 124 off for the odd Sunday lunchtime.
As an aside, the problem with red bull I find is after 2 cans, I get home then can't sleep due to the caffeine. Wipes out half the next day.
