You heard anything like this?
Cant say I've heard anything, other than the odd comment from the end user. I can certainly ask the question mate and see what the situation is, but nothing has been announced on a bulletin or email etc etc

Mine 188/1 yours 1/1 so far

My average MPG over 6,000m is 23mpg always driven in Sport# but have got 23mpg on non motorway use due to @@@@@ slow drivers still thinking Ice is about I normally acheive 13-17 mpg

back on topic most peeps reckoned my engine wouldn't last over 2K miles

340R 6K miles

I always warm up engine(IIRC map wont run full boost untill warm) but like mentioned warming up is nowhere near as important as cooling down correctly IMHO

Funny thing is, nowhere in the handbook does it mention cooling down. I spoke to a main dealer about this and he said "i always give mine 30 secs but i don't think its necessary".
For the record i always give mine a couple of mins to cool.

AFAIK the cooling down is really for the turbo.... warming up correctly is for everything engine related as well.

I know which one I would put more emphasis on (if it were a choice), and it wouldn't be cooling down! lol

Have had no 'engine' problems with mine yet but I have noticed recently that the steering seems to be incredibly sensitive on tight bends so much so it feels like the car is going to turn in on itself. Is this just typical or the fact I have winter tyres may play some part? It almost feels like I haven't been driving it as hard before as I hadn't noticed it until recently. Probably my old age and my brain shutting down.
