Discovery series 2 es

Have a problem with rear suspension, air system.
OS rear slowly sinks to stops at infrequent times.
Sensor has been changed and car has sat for a number of days in garage, no problem.
Put a few items in the boot and closed the door, within minutes car had sunk to stops on OS.
May be ok for week or may sink in a minute or 2 when parked.
Levels up on starting engine and not leaks found.
Any suggestions please.

Nice intro...LOL.

Mine did similar, new bags sorted it.

Cheers

As above, when you think it can't be the bags it is, even when you are sure it's not ... it still is ...

A search on here will find quite a few posts with the same issue, and quite a few answers along the same lines as wot I wrote above

You'll also find some heathens suggesting replacing the air with coils. Don't.

@terryacht - put some pics up and tell us a bit about you and what you do - unless you're one of them boating types, in which case don't

( that's a joke by the way )

Hi
Thanks for help
Car can stand for weeks, as not used often, with no sagging, but sometimes if car tail gate is slammed it just sags to stop, only the one side ever.
Once engine is started it raises up and maintains level, about 30 secs to level

If you want to isolate if it is the bags or not you can buy the following items off of ebay.

Hi, have you tried the soapy water on the bags trick? Basically the same when you had a puncture on an bike inner tube when you were a kid. I found a tiny leak on my wife's range rover using it.

Hi
Thanks for your suggestion but dont think it can be bag leak, but it has been checked.
Car can stand days without dropping, even weeks, today after standing for 3 days I closed the back door and the suspension dropped and within a minute or so it was at bumpstop.
I think it must be an electrical connection somewhere, sensor is new on that side and it is always drivers side which drops.
Any more ideas please, its so annoying to return to car park and see it lobsided, but not every time.

Try changing the sensor onto the opposite side and see if that side drops, if it does you've got a faulty sensor.
Always worth soaping up the bags when you put the motor into off road height.
Check the sensor connectors, sometimes the water gets to the cables and corrodes the connections.
Had one where I had replace the connectors.

Nice color D2 LOL.
Anyway welcome to the forum and yes check the bags or sensors
