Very nice, you've confirmed those alloys are the ones for me with the PCCB :thumb: can you confirm which they are? :dont know:

We did 1000 miles run in and i was on full chat after 500 miles. Changed the oil and filter at that point (it did need it and worth doing). Then tuned it straight away. Now at 4800 miles most of which has been track work.

Out of curiosity, what is the view on servicing a new car... are you going to do a 'running in' service, at least an early oil and filter change, even though not required by the book?

Thanks Ken. Appreciate your advice as always. I will continue with my steady running in program as it can do no harm. This car is a huge expense for me and I want to take good care of it. I will deffo get the oil and filter changed at the 1,000 mile point as you suggest.

I would follow Kens advice to the letter and use it full chat after 500 miles. I have done this with every new car that I have bought and none have used any oil inbetween servicing.
My view is that the increased pressure of high revs/throttle openings helps to bed the rings in.
Beautiful car by the way.
