:confused: How many miles of "Running in" should I do with my Mini Diesel?
And at which speed?...

Thx!

I have just Picked mine up and kept the Revs under 3k Most of the time. Car has now got 1100 on the clock so I reckon is just run in now :)

You won't go over 3K much once it is run in, perhaps only in 2nd. Best changing gear for better torque effect! I know petrol folks will not understand, but it works! The car will not 'loosen up' untill around 12K, depending on how hard you work the engine!

Get the revs right going up hills, and it feels like you could leave anything!
