  • Hi all

    Hello to you all
    I'm Paul, I'm 42 and I am a registered nurse from south Yorkshire.

    I took delivery of my brand new ds3 dstyle plus 1.6vti yesterday and I have to say it is beautiful.

    Bit unsure about running her in though. What do you suggest? I was thinking 1000 miles.
    I have done 110 miles so far and I can feel her freeing up already tho I'm yet to give her any real work to
    to do
    Thanks in advance
    Paul

    Just drive is the general idea I think - no running in.

      Try to avoid any harsh braking otherwise drive normally. No donuts and handbrake turns though.

                Lol at all your comments! Nice one!
                I bought the metallic blue with black roof. Absolutely love it. She drives like a dream. I read somewhere about not exceeding 3500rpm for 350 miles. I don't intend to thrash her too much just yet. Only getting about 35-40mpg at the moment. I assume this is cos the engine is still a little tight ?
                Many thanks for the welcomes. Will keep an eye out for the donuts. I'm quite hungry lol

                          At chris_blue. Your head aches probably as a result of too many revs and too many dB in the cabin
                          LOL!

                              I think you can from photobucket, or you can upload from your phone also via the tapatalk app

                              You could always email them to me, and I can add for you. (PM me if you want too and I'll send you my email address)
