Hydrolic Wing problems

Recently, i've noticed the left side hydrolic is not raising my wing up completely. I can actually pull the wing up, but it just snaps back down to a lower position.

Is there a hydrolic fluid reservoir? Is this a simple fix or do I need to take it to the dealer?

Thanks

I had similar issue but when it was in the down position it was slightly raised on the left side, thought it was the spoiler not fully locked but it is, so I have deactivated it in the up position.

Did you pull the fuse to deactivate the spoiler?? If so, do you still get the red light on the dashboard when it does'nt go down??

No, You have to disconnect a couple of wires underneath the engine lid, basically follow the cable down (electrics for fan/spoiler) and you eventually come to a connection block, don't ask me the 2 wires, Stephen was very helpful and sent me an email but this is on my broken laptop!

Alex can fix this for you. He will refill the pump.
