CVT Break-in Period

Upon our return a message waited from ZF saying that the ecoTronic VT1F CVT has no specific break-in requirements "but it is always better to break-in mechanical components at low load". This ties in nicely with the MINI break-in process.

ZF also suggests that "driving in D will be the best way to break-in our transmission" because of the MINI engine rpm restriction, not some specific ZF requirement for the gearbox.
