Ive been around wetheral park solving some issues with the roller shutter lid. Its been leaking to the sh*t house.As for running it in the dealer said its fine to give it. I just drive it hard when I want to and that's it.Thanks Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do some proper damage to your engine and you will be up for $5k + if it decides to let go coz of overboosting / boost spike!Hate to see that happen to such a nice ute too!
