Not up to date with the new cars of today lads, but I'll pick up my new BA ute on Friday.
Whats the latest on running in a new car nowdays?
Last time I did it was for an asmatic XC 250, which involved 90k/h for 500ks
with the odd squirt here and there(not that it had much to give)
But this was new rings not a new motor. Whats the latest???

All i was told was not to baby it but dont overkill it and vary speeds and dont let it idle for too long for the first 1500kms.

Nice pic Mark,
Was this taken leaving the dealership?

Fordy

You are confused now, arent you baman. Rod(above) is the one who drove Marks(other thread) ute.

Drive it like you stole it.. but only after it warms up to normal operating temp.. if you are getting an 8 the needle should hopefully sit around the 1/3 position on the gauge when she's ready for action. If you are getting a 6 then.... I have no idea..

Whatever you get I hope you enjoy it.

Drive it hard, but dont redline it till you clock about 1000km's
