Hi I am in the middle of ordering parts to sort our discovery 3 recently purchased , I haven't hooked up to diagnostic yet but I've noticed the rear drivers side does not settle quite as low as other corners it settles a little high ,it functions as in will go up and down etc , would anybody have an idea why it sits a little higher than the other corners on normal driving settings and rear a little crashy on rougher surfaces ? Thanks

Loads of reasons, from faulty height sensors, to damaged bushes or stiff rose joints.
A diagnostic will give you the electronic issues, but if there are mechanical issues, then those will need to be checked in the old fashioned way.

Mine seems to sit slighty skew wiff when in access mode, sits level in normal mode so okay in my mind.
Anyway once you plug in your code reader, wonky suspension could be the least of your worries

What size wheels has it got?

Hi all my wife came home in the discovery today and everything seems fine, however a while after her arrival I popped the bonnet and it seems quite hot under there , the slam panel over the front grill was pretty warm to the touch , is it normal for it to get a bit engine room hot under there ?
