Ive noticed that when stationary at traffic lights etc the rear near side suspension drops a few inches. Its enough to notice. It must pump itself back up when under power. I know the charachteristics of the vehicle re suspension dropping but this Ive only seen before after engine off. What do you guys think is it worth checking out or do others get this. (It didnt happen before which may be the answer)

They do tend to shuffle and re-level themselves when stationary at lights etc, maybe nothing wrong but if you're worried head for the dealers. TDV6 HSE Auto in Arctic Frost - Hers

Mine sometimes drops a bit at the back after stopping at lights. Always thought it was just settling down after all the weight distribution moves to the front when braking. In fact, it usually does it more if I've braked a little harder than I should. 
Never bothered me as I thought this was normal.  Paul

Sounds normal to me.
Just keep an eye on it.
Maybe stop on known level ground, wait for it to settle and then look to see if it appears to have levelled correctly or not.

I always noticed my fist D3 did this at the same set of lights every morning. Slightly up-hill and back would always adjust . .
New one doesn't do the same - hmmmmm "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Ahhhhhh suspension adjusts, this is normal, but if issue persists it may be worthwile checking that a sensor joining rod in not broken or bent, this can cause odd things 
One thing about the Disco it alwayse gives us plenty to talk about

I had the rear suspension sensor fail on me a year ago. I did notice ahead of the failure that it did seem to level its self more frequently. For me within a couple of days the rear suspension would lift right up with the front staying the same if I stopped the car for a minute or two. It was really obvious something was wrong ,so it sounds ok at the moment but I'd also suggest keeping an eye on it.
