My car was a 22 with those issues. Or at least the ones stated in my work order. Not sure if that's the same as the bulletin that was posted.

This. Driveway definitely appears sloped in that photo, quite a bit actually. ECU for your air suspensions will wake up and attempt leveling the four corners at regular intervals while you are parked that way, with unpredictable results. Let it sit overnight on a flat and level surface for a more reliable test, before running to the dealer.

Rather glad l opted for coil springs on my 90!

Ride is great although my previous vehicle was a 2005 Defender so anything would feel great after that

So after reading everyone’s comments. I raised the suspension to off-road and left it parked all night. And this morning the front is back to being lower than the rear. (The driveway is not sloped).

💩

As already mentioned it appears to be a known issue, time to take it to the dealer.

lt will be under warranty for sure.

just fyi. spoke with LR service. they say they will look at it, but they are thinking it is just a setting because there would be errors if it was a leak.

Well, they'll plug it into the diagnostic computer and it will tell them if it's a fault or a setting.

So either way, it will get repaired.

LOL, a setting? What's the setting called "Racing for Pinks?" Ask them to please show you the button that allows for that 3" height differential because you like it and want to dial it up every time you park.
