Back In Black

[denny]

My car was declared ready for collection yesterday evening after all, so I went and picked it up today. Hooray.

Now I just have to get through 500 miles without breaking 3000rpm, and another 500 of 'taking it easy' as I gradually ramp the revs back up to normal levels. At the minute it's like driving a learner bike all over again - not enough power available to get out of trouble, or out of everyone else's way. I think I'll go for a lot of long drives in the evenings for the next couple of weeks, try to get it over and done with.

Hoorah !...If you go for long drives to run the engine in, don't just sit at the same spped / revs, vary the revs and speed so as not to " glaze " the running surfaces or " bores ".

Yep, will bear that in mind. Might come and see you next weekend, if you've got a few hours free at some point?
