Running-in a new 182.... Ideas



  Clio 197


Ok, my last 182 was run-in incorrectly (60MPH on M5 and M6 for 600 miles), as this resulted in an unhealthy thrist for Castrol GTX.:(

So, Id like to plan a route, to break in my new 182 when it arrives....

My guess is, A roads (as long as theyre not dual carriageways), would be best to break a car in, due to changing speeds/gears etc...

I would like to plan a trip from South West, to South East... ideas anyone?

Ta, Oms.

I received my 182 with about 250 motorway miles on it and I drove it sensibly in urban conditions for another 200 or so. I then completed a long motorway run utilising all gears up to 100 mph.

It has about 600 or so miles on it now and ive taken it for a good blast now and again, up to about 6500 rpm or so to stretch its legs now that its had some good long runs on it.

Ill probably change the oil at 1000 miles.

thats how mine was run in: well coventry to bwerick upon tweed to liverpool to bristol in a day and it was absolutely spot on and hardly used a drop of oil in 12k :confused:

Oms you live in taunton right? Go A303 to london and back mate dual carriage ways and single track a road you can then go up the M3 for a motorway blast at the end
 


me personally id give it stick from day one! my gaffers 182 was taken to the limter from day one and that thing flew!

Just had a look at the map:

Taunton - Yeovil - Southampton - Brighton - Tunbridge Wells.

Then back again!

All A roads, so it should be a good mix.
