Mick, there are varying thoughts on "run in"

There are some 5'ers that literally left the dealer in smoke, and others that have wrapped their cars in cotton wool.

To be safe, vary the revs (ie. don't sit at a certain RPM for a long time) feel free to load the car up (once warmed up of course) ie. 30km/h in 3rd and give it ~75% throttle so the engine gets put under load.

Don't rev the poop out of it, try and keep revs under 4,500 although in saying that if it does go over a couple of times it's not the end of the world.
