Ginger60 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Hi there, Im sure its a really old topic by now. My spoiler only works manually ok but the automatic box of tricks seems to be playing up. Is it a speed sensor fault or something within that i can repair? Im an engineer so with rough guides as to the fault i may be able to repair it. I have also considered an aftermarket one which i can controll the rate of the activation speeds... any ideas? Thanks a million Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonny-5 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Have you had a look through the search? The old spoiler not working automatically is a bit of a classic. People have modified the control boxes to change the activation speeds, I think you file down the contacts or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattnorgrove 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Pretty sure cheesewire modded the control box on his to make the spoiler raise later (faster) by swapping existing resistors for differently rated ones. Have a search, I'm sure you'll find it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted May 20, 2008 I modified mine so that the national anthem played through a loudspeaker attached to my roof as the spoiler was being raised, I did a 'how to' so have a search for it if you want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh see, you missed out there. I've also gone for the optional saluting Welsh Guard with mine so I get a stirring rendition of God Save the Queen and a snappy salute :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger60 0 Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks for all the advice guys, im going to have to check out the electrics properly, i will also look at the said web post on the site... I was hoping it would be something screamingly obvious :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted May 21, 2008 Hehe yeah, sorry. It's the speed controller box that'll have gone pop. Most likely due to a chimpy stereo fitter that will have pumped 12v down the wire coming from the controller box. As said though, have a search and I'm sure there's some info on how to fix/replace/change the speed of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
