    Hi everyone,

    Ouch .. I must be cursed.. beside my headlight problem, I also have a trouble with my rear spoiler, which seems unable to adjust to the right position ,as it should, depending on speed. The control lamp flashes at 120 kph and again at 80 kph. When the car is stopped the spoiler is in low position as it should not below 80kph. Before I get to the Ferrari dealer and spend a few bucks.. anything I could easily check by myself ( I am a complete novice )

    Thanks

    PS : if anyone had such failure repaired, could you tell me what cost I should expect ?

    If it just flashes for a while and stops flashing, you're fine-- that just means that it took longer than it should to change position. If it keeps flashing, then it probably isn't working.

    Mine is doing that right now, as a matter of fact-- flashes going through 80mph, stops flashing after a few seconds, and flashes again slowing through 60mph.

    Usually, it just means that it needs to be lubed, or possibly that there is a rock caught in it.
