Unhooking tin tent.

Mine always self levels when a lot of weight is taken out of the boot ie, open tailgate to let the dogs out, dogs jump out, back end lifts up, shut tailgate, back end levels off. Do this at least once a day & does it every time.

I would hardly call a couple of mutts a lot of weight. Try it with half a ton of cement.

Does the same thing whether 'mutts' or any other heavy stuff.

Good i am glad to hear that. But what it's supposed to do and what it does with old sensors at extremes of height is a totally different kettle of fish. So you have a choice between starting up and driving off to settle the suspension or paying £60.00 a corner so it works as it should. If you don't load the boot up all that often, maybe the first option would appeal more to most.

So I would be safe in saying that normal operation is to self level after removing load without engine running.

Normal yes but how often is a P38 normal? Think i have been through this. On switching off and getting out, when doors are closed vehicle should self level for twenty seconds. When weight is removed from boot on closing tailgate vehicle should drop rear end to standard height. The air suspension should wake up every six hours and self level with a maximum drop of 8 mm on any one corner. That is how it should be, but it does not always happen as it should, hence the reason for this thread. If yours is perfect well done many are not for various reasons. Sticking high at the arse end can nine times out of ten be cured by starting the engine and allowing the suspension to level, vibration may aid this. Or by driving a short distance exercising the sensors. If neither method works and diag is needed to correct it, it is time to be thinking about new sensors. Maybe my terse NO should have been qualified somewhat. I have just done that above.

Good to know mine is behaving as it should then
