It was great to speak the other day Eddie, I would love to compare the ride, as my car is really hard, with no compliance whatsoever. As several owners, like yourself, have commented on how good the ride is, I can only think that mine was built 'tighter' than some of the others. I am in contact with the factory, and will see how it develops after 1000 miles. I am halfway there already, so can start using 5000rpm occasionally now, this is where the fun begins. If only the ride was better.....
I will look up the oil checking procedure from the handbook of another car which uses the same engine, only in 2.3l form, and post it here for other owners. If I remember correctly, they actually supplied a dipstick, but this could be made from any suitable material.
