Phil,
Warming the engine up correctly: start the car and drive off straight away - never let it idle from cold. Drive sensibly for about 10 minutes and it will be warm.
Engine braking (hopefully not engine breaking!): on a clear road just accelerate up to moderate revs, let go of the accelerator and let the car slow itself down. You want to work the engine hard in the mid revs region (so no low revs and no very high revs). Do this a few times, and you will be exercising and bedding in the rings to all parts of the bore nicely.
You can see that when a knowledgeable dealer says "just drive normally", he's about right. Just do some A roads, overtake some stuff, don't go mad, and you'll be fine.
