I have seen pics of air tanks rusting from inside out in the northern climes.
Hi all, I just bought a Disco 3, and the whole vehicle seems to from overnight from normal height down to access height. Does this sound like a leak from near the compressor somewhere or self levelling from a single bag leak or somewhere in that vicinity.
This is my first experience with air suspension, and only my 2nd ever land rover, previous was a disco 1 that I sold after getting it roadworthy, too much body roll for my liking.
Could be lots of things.Quote:

Corner valve leaking causing same sort of issue.
Or other faults.
Pull the EAS fuse and leave it a day or two,and that will give you more ideas as to what is wrong,hopefully.
A GAP tool is also helpfull to check the system,gallery pressures, etc.
Been there done that quite a few times with our D4,frustrating once their are problems with the EAS.
Thank you scarry. I took out fuse#26 last night, and this morning its all up in the air still, which I'm hoping is a good thing to narrow down options a bit. GAP tool? I do have a diagnostic scan tool, but it doesn't show me much on the disco. Might have to take out a loan and buy one suited to LR.
Have you checked the heights from centre of the hub to the inside edge of the wheel arch? Front l and R should be the same, and Rear l to r as well, with about 15-20 mm difference front to back, the rear riding higher.
It could well be that the sensor height calibration is off and as stated above, the car is trying to level and so works its way down. By taking out the fuse, this stops the auto levelling and confirms no leaks in the system, as otherwise, with a leak, the car would still drop down.
You will need a diagnostic tool to reset the height calibration at each corner, or know someone that has one. Offsets range +/_50mm on the D4, I suspect the D3 is similar.
