I, too, will be dropping my Defender off for service.

The same thing is happening with my 2020 110x. Front sags down overnight, rear at normal height. Best guess is that there is a slight leak in the front system somewhere. I checked the couplings at the shock tops and at the front valve block. Can only now think to leak check the entire EAS system. Local dealer has no service availability until November.

Ran the issue to ground…. Early build 2020 Defenders have defective front air struts that require replacement ☹️ Found out today that there was a TSB for the issue, back in late 2020. That TSB was resigned and is now just in the maintenance manuals. I suppose if no one complained about the issue JLR didn’t say anything 🤷🏼‍♂️
