Spoiler light on dash but it works?

The handbook says:
'The warning light in the instrument panel lights for a lamp check when ignition is switched on'
So perhaps it's normal? It stays on until the car is moving, long after all the other lights go out. That was what worried me.

Sounds like normal behaviour to me. As long as it goes out at about walking pace, and doesn't come on when driving, then you don't have a problem.
NickCWebb said:If it is raising and lowering depending on speed, is there a sensor to detect when it is down that is faulty?
Yes. There are microswitches to sense the top and bottom of the spoiler travel, and the warning light will come on if the spoiler hasn't gone up at speed.
