I am looking at buying a 2005 diesel HSE discovery 3 and the front LHS is sitting about 10 mm lower then all the other corners. Any ideas?

Thanks for you help

All the time? Does it level out after it's been started and the doors have been closed?

 

10mm is the limit of the suspension threshold, so that could technically be considered "normal" I believe. That being said, if you change the suspension height and/or drive around and come back, I don't think the same shock should always be higher or lower than the other shocks. If that's the case, it is most likely a calibration issue. You can recalibrate the suspension yourself if you have an IID tool or something similar (highly recommended) or you could pay the dealer to do it (wasted money which would be better spent towards an IID tool and a bit of your time )

 

It makes sense if it's not leaking it may need a 4 wheel height calibration, alignment, or possibly some bushings. None of which should be a deal killer.
