Hi all i am new to the site and have been browsing some very interesting and informative information but i cant seem to find an answer for my Discos problem,

6 months ago i purchased a 07 Disco 3, I just completed a 3 week trip through central Oz, just out of Alice i got a flat on rear passenger, i changed it by the book and then took the tyre to get fixed in Alice. I noticed they put the vehicle up on a hoist and then slid the arms out and dropped the car on to them collapsing the rear airbags, I asked had they done this befor and of course answer "yes". What happens now is when the vehicle is left over night that rear bag lowers to about 50mm less than the other 3 corners, it does self level when the vehicle is started.

I rang a LR dealer and he said it may just need re calibrating, is this so?

David, it seems more likely that you have leak at that corner either valve block, airline or bag.

David not sure exactly what they did?

Dropped the car into what?

Hi Caver D3,

When they put the car up on the hoist (drive on type) after raising the vehicle to head height they then swung across two arms that positioned under the suspension and hoisted up lifting the vehicle of its wheels collapsing the airbags.

So the suspension just dropped extending the airbags?

Height calibration would be the easiest to try first.
If it doesn't help them wot David said.
