In all of those years running in engines of various manufacturers, I have never had any engine problems or excessive oil consumption and I put that down to the stringent running - in procedure which I have rigidly adhered to and which I will continue to do with my CRD albeit manufacturers might not give such pedantic advice. Proof of the pudding...so to speak.
Hi Geordie

Well thats 3 out of 3 so far for running in.

I thought that mabye I was going to be in the minority, but it looks like mabye not.

How long will it be before your motor comes ? Will it be March or April, I bet you can hardly wait.
