anyone think of any problems with parking on a sideslope?

Hi - my only off-street parking option is on a moderate sideslope with the passenger side downhill. Can anyone think of any problems (fluids etc) this might cause in the long term to a 99 TD5 Disco - except for possibly a bit of extra stress on the wheel bearings?

I have to park my Series III on a fair side slope most of the time, i just alternate the direction of parking every second day or so, i found that my freewheeling hub on the downhill side would start to weep oil if parked for several days in the same direction. probably not a problem for the disco. the suspenion might sag a bit more on the downhill side after some time.

No problems at all, except that it will show up any leaky seals on that side. It doesn't make them leak, but will let you know if they do.

only if you pick up or drop off short passangers, they wont appreciate getting in from the downhill side or out from the uphill side.....

If you dont turn the park angle around occasionally you are risking premature compression of the down hill springs but thats about the worst I can think off... no wait... If you have dual tanks depending on the selector valve occasionally they cross leak and your uphill fuell will wind up in the down hill tank which can leak (in a series any way) and if youve got the up hill tank selected you can get a lock from an air bubble if the tank siphons dry... Thats the worst I can think off.
