    Left mine for two lots of 12 hours as I had to use the vehicle.Pulled fuse 26 both times.
    The following happened.Both fronts dropped,one side about 13mm,other about 6mm.Right rear stayed the same or went up about 2 mm,probably as others dropped.Left rear dropped 11mm.

    Last night I left it in off road height,seemed to stay about level,probably because of larger volume of air in system,i am thinking.

    Using Big Blue(a soapy solution in a squirt bottle we use for looking for leaks at work),no external leaks around valve block that was replaced recently.Maybe it is internally faulty and rear has a bag leak.I checked where air line goes into top of rear bag,no leaks.Actual bag is difficult to test for leak as it has a metal cover over it,or do you try to look for leak at bottom and top of metal cover?Rubber boot on the lower section needs to come off as well I think?

    I will take it to the Indi for repair,but just trying to sort it myself for interest before it goes.

    OK,EAS experts,

    Could this happen?

    Disconnect battery on vehicle and it doesn't drop down overnight.

    With battery connected,pull fuse 26 and the other EAS fuse,i think it is either 6 or 5,and the vehicle drops overnight?

    If it can happen,any clues to fault?

    Wiring fault somewhere?

    Any comments appreciated.

    Is a Traxide DBS fitted and the aux battery not disconnected?

    Was the vehicle at the same height each time, ie normal or off-road etc and was the vehicle parked in the same spot?

    Edit: Traxide question is irrelevant.

    I'd repeat the experiment to confirm: raise to off-road height, disconnect the battery (don't rely on pulling the fuse), measure all 4 corners (from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch directly above), then recheck in the morning. If you're parking on uneven or sloping ground you may have to repeat with the car parked in the opposite direction.

    If it's really not dropping with the battery disconnected, the valve-block wiring might be suspect - you could then try disconnecting the valve-block wiring (with the battery connected and this time with the fuse pulled) and see what happens.

    Cheers,

    Gordon
