Does anyone know what controls the operation of the aerofoil as mine works ok manually, lights up on the dash sometimes when I switch on the ignition but doesn't go up when driving.

There is relay/control unit in the boot, behind the lining, that manages these operations.
Perhaps an auto-electrician could test it for to find the fault?

It will only go up automatically at around 150kph (94mph)

I thought that it deployed around the 70mph mark!

Mine is definitely around the 94 mark. Someone told me it is set at 150kmph

On my 2004 it was definitely raised at 70MPH and dropped at 45MPH.

Funnily enough it is a great reminder to check my speed when it suddenly appears in my rear view mirror.....

Indeed. Most useful.

Or you could, of course, set your personal maximum speed warning?
"Unfortunately" mine is set at 100mph which, needless to say, is way above any speed that I would drive (in the UK)
