I've had my car for a week and half now, 06. The girl from the nissan garage rang me hastily yesterday "...oh there is a running in period...blah blah" im the same mate, ive hammered mine a few times. Anyways it is true, there is a running in period and the manual does say so. The manual says upto 1200 miles, the lady form the nissan garage told me 2000 miles. im taking it easy now though, its done 700 miles in less than 2 weeks. im just trying to drive anywhere to get to 1200 miles, looking for any excuse to drive, i know its sad but on tuesday after the england game, i made two trips to drop my 2 friends off home
