Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggest that you put the spoiler up and lubricate the runners with WD-40, perhaps it got a bit stuck.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

something we all fear - strutting my stuff and my spoiler didn't come up yesterday!! :sad: on the m25 and i get the warning light and look back to see the lip of the spoiler isn't in sight. at the next set of lights i tried the manual swith to no avail. parked up and did the same with the door open and couldn't hear anything and still no movement! left it parked a couple of hours and came back to the car, started up and pulled away with the light on (which it always does for the first second of movement - figure this is normal?). light extinguishes as expected. then i stop, cycle the manual switch and everything is fine. get back on the m25 and up to speed and the spoiler deployed as normal! is this just one of those random glitches and i should relax or is it sign of worse to come? and is there anything i can do to avoid future problems, ie, grease anything up or other preventitive action? cheers :thumbs:
