My new car - nearly a week old

[captain_clio]

ive had my 1.2 16v billabong since last tuesday, and im lovin it! done nearly 400miles already.

its nippy, handles good, and id definatley reccomend one.

it says in the manual dont go over 3,500 rpm for the first 625 miles. however, i havent exactly stuck to this, infact, redlined once or twice will this have caused any damage?

nice one

Doubt it, if summit does go wrong just dont go into the dealer saying you redlined it! lol

cool. Mines on about 450 miles now, and is 2 weeks old. Although some idiot in a rover crashed in the back of it. GRRR. Ive been good though and it hasnt seen over about 3200 rpm.

Ive had my Billabong for 5 1/2 weeks now and its done nearly 1700 miles, I didnt rev it above 3000 rpm for the first 800 miles or so and I havent taken it past 4000 yet. I doubt if it would have damaged the engine but I would say stick to what they say as there must be a reason for them recomending it!!! Although mine does keep cutting out and in the morning the idle is really up and down, ne1 else experienced this?!
