This really is a simpleton's question, but can someone explain to me in really simple dense people's language what the overdrive button does, and also what power and hold are for. I kind of have a vague idea that the power button holds the revs at a certain level but I really don't have a clue. I don't know either how you are actually supposed to use them when driving.

Has anyone done a write-up about this- I had a search but couldn't see one in the FAQ section. Is it something that is so easy it doesn't need instructions, or is it a pain?

Then i noticed that the little orange power warning light was flashing..It's never done this before :shock: ???? it then stopped flashing and the car then seemed to want to pull away as normal....What doe's this meen....Can anyone help. P.S the power light that was flashing is the one which illuminates when you flick power switch on the auoto box. Cheers for any help Col
