Running In

[monsterenergy]

Picked up the CS400 on Friday... loving it so far but keeping the revs low to run it in.

How many miles should you run in a new car for and what revs should you keep it to?

There's a beast in there - but it'll need to wait... hopefully will have it run in by Alford!

no idea buddy but a 1000 miles springs to mind.

Oh a CS400 at Alford, that would be good to see!

Avoid over-revving the engine for the first 1,000 miles, try to keep RPMs under 4000 and vary your speeds over the full range of city and motorway driving.

Sound advice :-)

Thanks for the info! I should prob have read the manual haha been following that advice in any case but just wanted to check. Have had the limiter beeping at 3000rpm and driving in town and dual carriageway and A-road.

I guess it's a good excuse to rack up a further 750 miles before Sunday starting with a couple of hundred this afternoon while the missus goes to work :-D

haha nae quite although it did jump from the 27 miles when I purchased it to 42 when I drove it away - salesman mentioned pre-sale checklist run blah blah blah

I had to drive it from Edinburgh up to Aberdeen and have been looking for any excuse and "long routes" wherever I go... like today I did Aberdeen to Stonehaven via Cairn o'Mount

Verdict so far - loving the handling even at the low revs!
