Hi Dill,

Im my local supermarket they sell freeze spray for sports injuries etc.......

I was thinking of getting a few of these, and as you say, get a mate to spray on the intercooler whilst in the queue - my only worry is causeing the intercooler to split, by spraying freeze spray ont hot metal - do you think this is a risk?

I'd keep your bonnet up till last minute and get a £1.99 plant squirter from B+Q to fill with water and coat it just before you drop your bonnet.

That should do the job

but i wouldn't worry about it to much
