On the running in front of things, its not like it was in the olden days, but you still have to take it easy for the first 500miles, nothing more than three quarters of max revs, and max speed.

lmao my mate bought a brand new Corsa Exclusiv and when he went to pick it up he asked them about running it in. The salesman said put it this way you can go out off this forecourt and take it to the redline.... which he then did and now wonders why it had to go back for a rebuild at 1000 miles cos he fucked it from driving it so hard! Wot a tool!

The max speed is irelevant

Its the revs that you need to be wary of when running an engine in

Since then its been back to have a new timing chain cos it was nearly snapped. Its only done 14,000 miles. He gives his car some abuse. Surely Vauxhall can refuse to fix it if they can prove that he drives it like a twat all the time?
