I was just wondering what the effects of not running in a car properly are???? Anyone got any ideas??

Lol. I take it you couldn't resist putting your foot down too much?

I wouldn't worry too much, you may find it actually performs better. Also, it depends on how long you plan on keeping the car.

If you change it that soon, you'll be fine. In any case you'll still be under warranty by the time you sell it. Just remind me not to buy yours second hand!!!

Basically you'll find that its possible the car won't last as long...but your talking about the difference between the car needing significant engine/ancilleries work at 100,000 or 200,000 miles ... You'll still get good miles out of it before it played up (or you should but from what i've heard of the R56 running in etc might not make a difference

) You'll be fine....and like above if you run it hard from factory then in faxct th engine often performs better, but won't last as long (race engines are prepped like that as they are stripped so regular)

Carlo Sidoli · Mar 7th, 2007, 09:25 AM

I Hope it will be OK when i part ex it in for the new JCW i will try VERY hard to run that in properly LOL

Are there any dates set in stone for the new JCW????

:: Jon :: · Mar 7th, 2007, 09:26 AM

never run any car in and never had problems due to it... engines are fully tested in the factory before they leave anyhows...

Curry23 · Mar 7th, 2007, 09:29 AM

Im with Jon on this one. They always put an engine thru its paces before hand so when you get hold of it you can drive as hard as you like from the begining

Carlo Sidoli · Mar 7th, 2007, 09:48 AM

Does Anyone Know When The New Cooper S Works Is Comming Out????:d :d :d

caesar · Mar 7th, 2007, 02:53 PM

If you truly appreciate your car, then you will run it in according to the manufactures instructions.

In the case of the Mini the you should not exceed 4500 revs for the 1st 1500 miles, which is not too much to ask. Remember there are countless other new moving parts that need to bed-in, including brakes, gearbox, transmission and tyres.
