Did the warning light come up on the dash before it quit, or did it just stop working out of nowhere? Also, does the lift work at all when you press the button, even slowly? That would help narrow down pump versus leak.

Driving it stuck down won’t hurt the hydraulics themselves, but the real risk is the front lip and underbody taking hits on every bump. If the system is leaking fluid, though, keep an eye on the level, because running the pump dry is what kills it.

Daily driving a Huracán in Dubai with a dead nose lift is brave. Mall ramps and speed bumps will keep scraping that splitter no matter which shop you pick. Honestly, park somewhere flat until it’s fixed, because a cracked bumper costs more than the lift repair.

Mine did this on a Gallardo a few years back and it turned out to be a leaking line, not the pump. Shop quoted me for the whole pump unit until a second garage found the actual leak in about an hour. Get a second opinion before you approve anything.

Check the fuse and relay first, it costs nothing. If the lift is hydraulic, the usual suspects are the pump, the accumulator, or a weeping line at the front axle. A proper scan for fault codes before anyone touches a part would save you a lot of guessing.
