I think your car is ok for an old car.

If your car isn't lowering with the fuse removed then don't worry about it

Ok thanks...thats quite reassuring.

My plan is to look at the front block valve(s) and replace the seals/o rings because when the prev owner had the compressor changed, he was told that a failed compressor can sometimes blown ‘stuff’ thru which would cause this...so itll just need clearing out.

Make sense? Jibberish???

My front and rear air valve blocks were clean but I rebuilt them with new seals. Still leaked. I've replaced the front recently and all is now fine. I have a new rear valve block arriving shortly. Fingers crossed the rebuild works for you.

I have exactly the same on my Discovery4.
Another thread discussed this and also self levelling.
No olution found but I will try to change the front valve block and see if this helps.
