Take it to Halfords. Fit an ironing board.

i'm a tad impartial to a big spoiler, so don;t tempt me with such advice, thanks!

So there is a trick? Good, 'cos you can't do that ^^^ with a spyder, at least not without getting eaten by it.

neat solution batman...... how much u selling these harnesses for?!
and once you flicked the switch, did any check control light appear on the dash?

chat with a service chap today...

for the pre-lp models, they can use a computer to raise the spoiler, but not permanently....

for the lp models, even the computer cannot be used! it means removing the trim as per eccounts post....

batman, i'll buy one of your inline fuse/switches please!!

[70proof]

cheers, nice to see others don;t get a lie in too.... off to a football tournament in the rain now!

massive thanks to batman for the switch/fuse..... the factory couldn;t have made better....

on my car (MY08 coupe) there are two fuses..... a standard size fuse, port 2, and a small (backup, still 15amp) in port 27 (or 25, forgotten now)..... both fuses have to be out to get the spoiler to stay up, else all you get is the warning on the dash with the spoiler going up and down.....

why a backup.... think the circuit now powers crap to do with the exhaust gases, as p0412 and p0450 thrown up as soon as both fuses out, with both out (after reset) when both fuses in place....

spoiler to small to live with it up... probably a bit colour dependent too... ... so fuses back....

hi dave

yep, prev owner had the roof wrapped but the spoiler, wings and rear vents re-sprayed (in too light a shade a grey imo), think yours looks cool up as black as per bodywork.... mine looks not right, but then i do like big spoilers!
