Hello all,

I notice quite a few of you have RAV T180's - i'm still rather alone with my T180 Auris at the moment so i'll ask here :)

How did you guys run your T180's in from new? I've been driving carefully - not over 3k RPM for about 450miles now, gradually building up the revs, easy on the brakes, clutch and box - gradually increasing the speed at which i use the clutch and box too. However, recently, i couldn't resist sticking my foot down, especially over the last few days i've pretty much wedged it down in 3rd or 4th a few times because its too hard to resist - i laid off 1st and 2nd for now. So much so i think my gentle run in routine has slipped..... quite a bit :crybaby:

How do you guys run the car in and have you had any problems in the past by not running cars in properly?
