Hi Mate,

The IC Water spray is basically a Water Spray for the Intercooler... on hot day it can help reduce intake temperatures. Generally if your gonna put ur foot down on a hot day... press it, and then do it... should help things... but not essential.

The stalk on the speedo that says 'revs' is for the Shift light.. turn the key in the ignition to the on position... but dont start the car. Then turn the stalk left or right and watch the LCD screen in the dash to increase or decrease the 'revs' when the warning light/buzzer warns you to shift. (think it is on a x100 basis.. so 70 = 7000RPM) Now when you reach 7000RPM (or whatever you set it to.. best advised just before the red line on the speedo) it will beep at you and the light in the middle of the speedo will light up.

Hope this helps.

np.

The IC spray is for when you feel the intake temps are high (so even on a cold day.. if you have absolutely blitzed it for a bit... might be worth giving it a spray... before blitzing it again)

The bottle for this is behind a hatch in your boot... and when it needs refilling be sure to use 'distilled' water.

Not sure who needs a 'Change Gear NOW' light but you've got one - I'd take the bulb out if I was you

The IC Spray is to boost the power enough to carry the extra water about

Both items are as useless as the CockLink which you will no doubt want to buy sooner or later

Well, i would assume this is to stop you from potientially ruining the pump with hard water that is present in some areas. Not really **** is it... just taking a little care to save a little money later.
