Sounds like it doesn't like you're weight pressing down in it! do the women complain as well??? If so you might want to consider dieting!!

I had exactly the same problem its turned out to be a leaky airbag might just be a tiny hole but when the compressor is running it creates enough pressure to keep it up, kust had mine changed it was only one airbag but it doesn't do it anymore

Also just had same problem. Leak can be from valve block, pipes, air bags. Mine was air bag. Bought a couple of Dunlop bags off Paddocks at special online price and fitted myself. Pretty easy if you're any good at diy and have a decent trolley jack. Steve.

Thanks for replys changed the airbags today from paddocks took longer to get the locking wheel nuts off than change the bags.
