On another issue, as this is my first diesel, I assume the usual running in procedures still hold true? Don't cane it but don't baby it either etc? Anyone know any different?

Drive it like a normal car. The Auto in the Diesel is a pearler, so just drive it normally. Diesels (as you will know) don't rev as high, but they make their power lower. It might require some adjustment to your driving style, but once you are comfortable with it, you will wonder how people drive breathless Petrols.
It is really hard to cane a Diesel. I know for a fact my Patrol wouldn't get to the 5200 Red line. It would run out of puff. Having only driven one Mondeo Diesel, I would imagine the motor in it would be similar.
