Air suspension leak?

Morning forum! I'm a brand new rangerover sport owner. Allways wanted one. And now have my dream car. Bought from guy salmon and still under warranty I'm after some advice. The rear suspension sits very very low in a morning and the camber of the rear wheels is at a fairly off inward angle. It's only just started doing this. Is this a leak from the air suspension? And what needs to be changed for it to be fixed. Any help would be much appreciated

Many thanks, Ben!

Hi and welcome aboard sir,
If you search the site you'll find a plethora of information about suspension leaks. The system can leak from any number of places including the compressor unions, airbags, chafed pipes etc. There are also valve blocks front and rear which can develop faults causing the symptoms you describe. Finding the leak or leaks can be time consuming and frustrating. Fortunately for you your vehicle is under warrant so throw it back at Guy Salmon and tell them to fix it. Do not be fobbed off with the the old 'they all do that sir'. If the suspension is in perfect order it will NOT drop at all even if left unused for several days.
Good luck. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

i just recently had the same, if its the rear drop the spare wheel, and raise the sus to full height and go over all pipes joins etc with a wet soapy sponge, mine was leaking where the fitting conects to the airbag on the top, took me about 30 min to find, or just get done under warrenty

Straight back to the dealer mate and get it done under warranty. Somewhere on here theres a thread about what height it should be sat at. MY 09TDV8

Many thanks gents. I'll be taking it to the dealers Monday morning. Is it a fault that's likely to return. Or could the dealers make a temp fix so that it conveniently breaks again just out of warrenty?

All advice appreciated.
