So is there anything I should know? I know the salesman will tell me most things but you never know.........

Is there a running in period? People have told me that you do not need to run them in but im very sceptical about this.
Should you change the oil at 1k miles?

Anything else?

Cant wait!!!

Thanks

Scott

I have no technical knowledge about this, but personally i would take it easy for the 1st 1000. I would change the oil at this point and let rip.:D

Enjoy.

According to log book run in is for 1k when you shouldnt exceed 4000rpm however on Cliosport net there is a difference of opinion as to whether you should observe this.

With our car we found that it loosened up considerably with more miles 2k at moment and getting better and better. Also fuel economy is improving all the time. :D

Good Choice

..and remember your got Fu*king ABS!
As i think your find out one day.....have fun
Mega.

Scott,

What ever you do, DO NOT run the 172 in. It has been proved in various RR days that a nursed 172 will always put out an inferior power figure. I'd say go easy for the first 100 to bed the brakes and tyres in, then just go for it!!

I have first hand experience of this having had two 172's(not through choice!), the first one was run in the second not. The first one wouldn't have seen where the second had gone, the difference is so big!

Anyway happy motoring!:)

Any first impressions then Scott?

Unfortunatley my insurance company has not sent the cover note out in time, so the dealers can not tax my car so I wont be able to pick her up until monday!!!!

ARGGHH!!

Scott
