This was the fix posted on the Disco3 forum:

They say it is due to the seat cushion pushing down on the lever when you get in and out of the car, but there was a warranty fix for it when they first came out.

I haven’t tried it myself - you just get in the habit of adjusting the seat up every time you get in.

That is what I am doing [emoji106]

By memory I think mine makes its way down as I’m driving. If I set it to say 5 or so upwards levers, by the end of the drive it’s all the way down.

Fortunately it's not a talking seat or it would be saying one at a time please. [tonguewink]

I gave the solution above a go and surprisingly it works. Haven’t needed to readjust the seat height since fitting. Just held in place by the pressure of the lever arm resting on top.

What LR part no. is that?

I remember complaining about it initially under warranty but nothing was ever done about it other than tell me its been fixed. I just got used to it over time.

Probably should have a LR part number as ironically the solution does come from a LR Technical Bulletin.
