 Running in new Mini Any thoughts from anyone in the know on running in new cars (especially the new Mini!) as I'm due to get my Cooper on the 18th April. I know that nowadays, most engines are bench-run and are built to very close tolerances, so running in may not be as necessary as it used to be?? Can anyone set me straight on this, cos I don't want to damage my nice new engine, but I want to play asap!!!!!   |
