Just get info from dealer, it won't come until next wednsday, which means I have to take buses for two more days. The good part is public transportation is environment friendly.

Oh the Earth will thank you for those 2 days I'm sure

It's just 2 days, the agony of waiting will just add to the excitment when you get to drive it

I say, the longer the wait the better! (just kidding)

KPKalle · Oct 21st, 2006, 08:12 AM

Wednesday

How will you manage to wait that long?

AprilWhine · Oct 21st, 2006, 11:37 AM

Sorry for the delay, it's so tough to wait.

caah · Oct 21st, 2006, 08:59 PM

Thank you all for comforting words. Mini2 will be a good place for me to forget the pain of waiting.

But what if they go on a road trip right after they take delivery? Surely that has happened before...

Caah,

Good news! It's closer to Wednesday now

i personally expect the run-in to be done within 5 days of delivery

caah · Oct 29th, 2006, 12:55 AM

Finally got it this Wednesday night. I was busy on run-in these days

. It's so fun, especially in curves. I will post some pics later (so busy these days, and it's raining all day now

).

Found a problem (if it is a problem): being jerky at around 1500 RPM. I thought it had been solved long time ago. Is it normal?

Cooper S 6spd manual?

No, it's a MC with CVT.

I think MCSa won't have the jeky issue.

xtremepsionic · Oct 29th, 2006, 03:37 AM

Do you mean you feel the car lurge forwards and backwards at low speeds, like crawling in traffic?

I've never felt the CVT "jerking" around if you full throttle it

Yes, that's the feeling in low speeds. and You are right, it's not jerky at full throttle

. Is it normal? Was I just too gentle?

How many km did you do for run-in? Manul said it's 2000km with RPM less than 4500, but my friend who has a MCS recommend 5000km with RPM less than 3000.

For the low speed jerk, it's like that even with the manual, but with the manual it is only when you are crawling at idle (950rpm), the electronic throttle keeps opening and closing a little by itself creating the jerk.

As for run in, I did 2000 km of below 4500, now at 22000km I don't burn any oil at all. Mind you, I always take it easy below 3000rpm until the coolant is at normal operating temperature, only then will I take it up to 5k, and after 5-10 more minutes I'll redline whenever I want to (not too often really)

caah · Oct 29th, 2006, 06:52 PM

xtremepsionic , Thank you so much.

MiniPapa · Oct 30th, 2006, 02:58 AM

If you've got a CVT read this:
http://www.mini2.com/forum/cvt-autom...hnique-17.html

Basically it boils down to "put your foot down hard to let the computer know you want to go".

If you ease into it, it gets confused.

Of course whenever I drive the other car now I scream off the starts from stamping the pedal too much!

Since I have the chrono pack, I have the extra gauges for oil temp & oil pressure. I can tell you that in weather such as this (-8 Celcius) that the water temp will be pegged at the normal (12 o'clock) whilst the oil temperature has still to move past it's base point of 40 degrees. The oil pressure tends to stay higher during this time also.

I usually wait until the oil has past the 60 degree Celcius mark before doing too much "spirited" motoring.
