Keeping air scoops up on the Murcielago
Discussion
I've often wondered if there is a way to keep the scoops up permanently on the Murcie. They go down automatically at 40mph if raised manually, and only come up automatically at any speed when the outside temp gets to 29/30deg. Fat chance of that here. But when the Lambo was at MPH I raised the scoops then quickly turned off the ignition and the battery isolator at the same time - now they are up permanently. Looks great but there is more wind noise at speed. Trouble is I'm not sure how to get em back down now

Simon,
I'd heard that's there's some sort of sequence you can do with turning the ignition off-and on several times to achieve this without needing a re-set (whihc is what happens when you do what you've done!)
Bizzarley mine will raise up manually at standstill - but as soon as I pull away they start to descend!

Yea they all do - they will stay up till 40mph then go down. In the USA market once raised manually they go down at 5mph. Strange

Mine must have USA programmimg then?

Actually I bet it has. All UK Murcies defo go down at 40mph so if yours are going down at 5mph it must be that. I know your car has never been across the pond so thats odd. Wonder what a dealer would say?

Simon,
I wonder if mine has a different ECU programme ?...looks like Skel00's 04 car is the same as mine so maybe it was on early 04 cars and before??
On a separate note - how do you get the "MAX SPEED" readout on the dash??...I've tried everything and every possible order and sequence of button pushing and I can't get anything to appear??

On mine you simply scroll through the little computer button till it appears. It goes through all the readouts till it appears. If yours isn't doing it maybe it wasn't in the system then? I'd take it to Lambo Manch, cos they have the software to see whats what.

didn't Darren's car do the Gumball ? or was that a non american gumball ?
Non-American.
Sounds to me like it's Simon's car that is the odd one out!!! all the rest of us have scoops that go down at 5mph!!
Maybe the factory knew how big a poseur Simon is and programmed his accordingly !
