Suspension lowering at front

Hi there, my 2006 Disco 3 is dropping around 30mm in the front over 3-4 days. If drivers door is left open it does not move. I have replaced the front valve block and cleaned the rear valve block. Could it be the dryer dissident breaking down? Any advice welcome.

Have you pulled the fuse to test overnight? Think it is No.26 which will prevent the car self levelling. Take your measurements, pull that fuse and leave overnight or longer if you can. Then check again.

Thanks for you prompt reply. Will give that a go. If it does not drop what do reckon could be the problem?

If it doesn't drop with the fuse pulled then I'd say there isn't a problem at all. Sounds just like self levelling doing it's job. Is the ground where you park higher at the front of the car?

BTW, In my view 3cm over 3-4 days isn't very much drop and most would probably consider that normal.

Ground is level. If it does not drop after after a few days with F26 out I’ll be so chuffed. Thanks again.

The front is good but rear has dropped about 1cm over 2 days with the fuse out. I’ll check tomorrow morning again.

That doesn't sound like enough of a drop to worry about it.
