Default 2013 LR4 leaning to the drivers side?

Not sure if this is normal, but I suspect it isn't.

Today while my LR was parked in Access Height, it looked to be leaning a little to the drivers side. Even when there are no passengers or cargo in the vehicle.

Now that its at Normal driving height, it continues to look tilted a little.

Not sure if its me imagining this.

A few questions:
1) Any way to tell that a vehicle is level? Computer, etc. Or should I try to measure the "level" with a hand level, or by eye?

2) Being a 2013 that I've only had for two weeks. Is this a major repair or a tweak to the air suspension? Or is this something that needs to break in?

Thanks, any help is much appreciated!

It is a Land Rover with air suspension, they all eventually learn to do this. It sounds like your LR4 is a quick learner.

seen issues with air leaks from the factory, but disconnect the battery and measure the heights and then if it drops you got a problem.

It does not sound normal. Have you tried raising the suspension all the up and then dropping it back down to normal mode. Try cycling through the different modes (range heights). If it still lists take it back and have it corrected.

Thanks for all of the comments everyone!

I raised and lowered it a few times and jumped up and down on the bumper. All seems fine.

It also seems to self correct, sometimes while I'm sitting in it with the engine running waiting for my wife to run into a store, while parked on uneven streets or pavement, etc...

Still only a few months into ownership and getting to know things a little better.
