I went skiing yesterday and was sitting inside my (rolling ski lodge) Defender having lunch. Twice I heard a brief "air hiss" noise come from the back. I presume it's the air suspension adjusting but sounds nothing like the LR4 air suspension sound I am used to. Anybody else ever hear this?

 

Yes, fairly often. Sometimes when waiting in parked car, sometimes when just opening a door. I just assume it’s the suspension doing its thing... vehicle always looks visually level.

 

I notice it the most when I unload the cargo area or if we have extra people in the car and they get out. It adjusts to try and load level the Defender.
