The Tamora handbook says 2000 miles that's what my dealer said aswell, so I'd go by that. Make sure you never run the engine under heavy load while running in. This seems to be the most important thing. i.e. don't go up a hill in a high gear. I tend to keep the rev's above 2K. Also, don't thrash the engine until it has fully warmed up...keep it below 3k ish revs.

guys, it's 6000, although you can drive "normally" between 2 and 6. The engine has an intermediary oil (non-synthetic) from 1000-6000 miles to aid bedding-in

Other than when cold the handbook only says to keep below 3000rpm for the first 300 miles. After that it says to gradually increase the revs until full power is achieved.
I roughly used an extra 500 rpm for each 100 miles on advice from the factory and my dealer.
Therefore after the 1000 mile service I was able to use full power when warm.
Now at 11000 miles and no problems.
Cheers..... Andrew
