dealer should tell most of it..but
1000 miles under 4k revs. 1000 miles service by dealer (I believe this is a warr req). Then take it easy for 500 miles or so, grad build it up after that.

Spot on BlueBlood.
It's very frustrating, but worth it. The cars come with a thinner 'running-in' oil, and you need to respect the limits until it's replaced at the first service.

Just realised there are two of you. One without under score I think
Mind having said that you are welcome at the Derby/Notts mini meet next Sunday. I think there will be more than 1 03 on display
