I'm sure someone will be along to correct me soon, but it could be a leaking air bag on that corner? Can you hear any leaks? Have a search, seen a few topics like this! |

Cant hear any leaks - the car raises up fine with no dash lights on |

More likely to be a problem with the rear EAS valve block rather than a leaking air bag. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Could it be a height sensor? |

Will a diagnostic check bring up a possible fault |

A diagnostic check will throw up a code, but it doesn't necessarily pinpoint the problem. I think you can sometimes tell if it's a dodgy height sensor by looking at the 4x4 info screen and seeing if the bars above any of the wheels are red. Is it constantly low or does it just go down overnight? |

Hi I think your right - it goes down overnight - I just drove a few miles after raising it then putting it in access mode - it's level at the moment |

Do you know what the correct ride height measurements are and do you know if the face lifted 2010 on models were different.

There is no correct ride height each car is slightly different thats why you need to measure the two rear corners and then adjust it until its level. You can have a few different set levels if you want to as long as you can write the settings to the RHCM, some guys on the D3 forum use this method Flack |

You can change just the air bag or the whole leg with new bag.
