I'd like to see the screen, as it shows height sensor inputs.
The only justification I can make for the rear being high, is that it hasn't tried to lower it, since it's trying to, and unable to raise the front from under access.
I do not recommend driving it if it is all the way down, you will cause unneeded wear on your suspension components. There is no 'back up' suspension.
One thing to try, but may end up getting you even worse off, is to see if you can lower the truck with the switch. If the rear comes down, the front may be able to raise a little as weight is transferred. But this may also just lower the rear all the way too.

Which is why when I have to take my LR in for work involving a lift and it's not a shop that deals with air suspension or the Rover on a regular basis I remind them to be careful to only use the chassis on the driver side and not screw up my compressor or reservoir.
When I got the new AMK unit which comes with new covers, I notice it now carries a molding with a warning for not a jacking point....

The entire car was in access mode for the last day not raising above that.
I had to get to the airport, leaving th country for a week (real bad timing) so i started driving there, slowly. Not going a above 40km/h. 10 minutes later the 4x4 screen said its in normal height. The switches said that too. I got out and checked. Indeed it was at the standard height.
Sadly I cant take a picture anymore. But it showed exactly what you would see when you lower the car to access height.
Just at the end now, it was at normal height.
Seems like there is some life left in the system. Really weird.
The car felt a little bit bouncy at first then normal.
Ill be back in 1 week (work travel
) Ill have to wait and see what the car looks like next week. thanks for your help

They should put a huge sticker on that area I think.
Better idea, add a sensor that makes the horn go mental when excess pressure is applied. That would be effective haha
