Hi All - my 07 model drops significantly on the rear nearside corner if the vehicle is not used for 3 days or so . It drops so as the wheelarch is close to the tyre. On starting up the vehicle rises quite quickly and drives ok. Has anyone else experienced this. The vehicle is going into a dealer shortly as the warranty runs out in March.
Cheers
Richard

Most likely a leak but could be a faulty sensor.
Inform the dealer and book it in. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Mine did exactly the same thing every day for about two weeks, (same corner as well) so I booked it in to the dealers for checking out. They found absolutely nothing wrong, and kept the car overnight to check for suspension drop the next morning, but it was fine. This was about six weeks ago, the problem has not re-occured at all since then, and the cause remains a mystery!
I should mention that the dealer is Conwy Land Rover in North Wales, and that as well as not charging me anything for the job, when I went to collect the car, it had been washed and vacuumed it free of charge as well. What's more, the car is well out of warranty, so I think this is excellent customer service, and they should be praised for it.

mine is randomly lowering itself overnight (sometimes no change in 4 days - when it is parked) - sometimes lowers in all corners overnight. Dealer not able to replicate; no faults stored (faultmate).
Any idea if there are some solenoids prone to leaking when zero-sub zero temperatures ? Any idea how to chek/replace/cost?
I found this is happening more often if parked outside. If in garage - it helds. 2013 D4 TDV6 S; Baltic Blue; IID Tool BT
