Default Self Leveling Issue 2003 Disco HSC

All:
For the last few days, when I go out in the morning to start myDisco, the rear end is down. I get in and start it up, wait a few minutes then hit the manual self leveling button and the rear rises up. However, it appears to rise a bit too high. It usually stays up all day, then same thing happens next morning. Any suggestions?

i never hit my SLS button though , or i do but rarely , but when ido attempt to use the manual option by pressing the SLS button nothing ever happens , i have found that i have to turn off the engine and let the air pump (guessing air pump) cool for at least an hour before it will raise back up and even then theres no telling when it will go down again , sometimes it will stay raised for days , until i drive it , then once it starts activating , it will work on auto , i am always noticing it working somewhat well at traffic lights and such , but it will catch me and go down sometimes when i am on the hiway/motorway , i know this is wrong ... is there anyway of turning off the SLS whilst at it highest level without it lowering itself ?

i have found a rear suspension conversion kit that shows a picture of coil springs , would this suffice its listed for discovery 99-04 conversion kit , and priced at $260 .. and even though i wont attempt to do the actual conversion , am i right in assume that what needs to be done is for the SLS bladders being removed and replaced with these aforementioned coil springs ? could it be that simple and cheap .... i think not , but then again i am a mechanical cynic ..hahaha
