Running free? Mine's done 30K and still costs £45 to fill the tank!

I'd guestimate about 10K as well.

Mines now done 4000 miles and still tight as a drum. As far as I can recall my previous MY99 started to loosen at about 5000-6000 and by 15000 was really starting to fly This one though feels especially sluggish as I was used to the performance of the MY99

Yorkie - are U still rattlin' on about the good ole MY99 Mate?

Nip out in the new 'un and give it a bit of throttle. Took one of my neighbours on a little ride the other night, and he's still recovering (supposedly a car enthusiast, too!)

Cheers, HB.

Noticed a big difference after 10K in a MY01. with 25K on the clock, it certainly goes well. Keep running outta revs!
