Good info. Where did you purchase the GAP Diagnostics EAS tool?

Interesting.
I am having a similar problem. My front suspension slowly drops when parked. Mine will drop equally (Both front springs). It only takes a few hours after parking for it to slowly drop about 2 inches. During this time there is no EAS activity. I think I might have a link valve leak.

Xrover,
I had both front sides settle down overnight, and a couple nights they would be at the bump stops. Over this past weekend, I replaced the front valve block with a new one and all is well. It's high and proud in the mornings now.

The block was $170 or so from Miami British....British Atlantic was sold out for now....

I ended up pulling the F26 fuse in the engine compartment to disable the EAS system. I then jacked up the front end with a floor jack. I removed the front right fender splash well and sprayed soapy water on the block. I found that the in/out fitting was leaking. I also noticed that all three air lines were not fully seated in the fittings. I loosened each one and let the air bleed out.

I removed all the hose fittings and removed the block. I did a visual inspection of the block then reinstalled all fittings. I then lowered the vehicle, reinstalled the fuse, turned on the engine and let the system charge back up. I sprayed the block again with soapy water. No leaks !!

It's been a few days and all is good. PROBLEM SOLVED!

80% of the issues I've had with my LR3 have been due to loose connections.. My guess is dealers probably know this but would rather say a part is bad and and make money on the labor and new parts.

Wow, So you're saying English cars have bad build quality, and dealers are out to bleed every penny out of you? You're like a genuine Matlock.
