It is actually possible to stay under 3K, I tell myself every morning I'm not going over it until the oil is warm but yet I still creep over pulling off at junctions

Is that 100 miles under 3k then another 150 miles at under 3.5k....

or

100 miles under 3k then another 50 up to 3.5k etc etc...

If its the first you better start racking the miles up

looks gash at the moment, as its the original bonnet from the car. its un painted and has few rust bubbles

its a risky game though, it all depends wat you running like if everythings a stock replacement you should be good, but aftermarket performance usually wants bedding in slowly first as they dont always marry up well
