Rear corner valve block needs replacing (or rebuilding). Mine did this - OSR lower than NSR - new valve block cured it. The valve block is about £80 and can be done DIY (although I got mine done by a garage). 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

The rear valve block lives on the front face of the NSR strut mounting. Access is a little tight. Probably easier from the spare wheel well side. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Thanks for that. I've just ordered the valve and will look at that this weekend! |

Make sure it's the correct block. They look the same but apparently they are different internally. The car will still work and be driveable but you might get odd behaviour if you fit the wrong block. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Well all is looking good so far. I received a cross valve, but they sent me the front and not the rear! I therefore decided to change the front and then ordered the rear. Both have been fitted and they immediately made a huge difference. The car feels lovely and very smooth.
