Hi All
Had my 100 HP about 3 weeks now - done just over 1050 miles Great fun to drive!!
I've been trying to run it in and was following a compromise of dealer advice (to keep below 3000 rpm for the first 1000 miles) and advice from onehundredhp.com (to keep below 3500 rpm for the first 1000 miles) ie below 3000rpm for the first 500miles then below 3500rpm from 500 onwards to 1000 miles. Also been trying to drive it really gently which has been hard.
Occasionally I've gone beyond that up to 4500 if its been "impossible to avoid" ie having too much fun:devil:
Now that I've passed the 1000miles mark I'm pushing the car a little harder, but have noticed a flat spot around 4000 rpm when pulling hard in higher gears - I think 4th or 5th ? ie around 4000 it doestn't seem quite as willing.
Is this just part of the running in process? Anyone else noticed similar?
I've been using Shell V-Power exclusively to fill up, except for the very first 2 tank fulls.
