Nose Diving LR4
Looking for some suggestions please! My 2015 LR4 has developed a suspension problem in as much as the front end is down in the morning. I start the car and the computer/compressor figures it out and the front end rises to normal ride height. All good and I drive off. After roughly 30 seconds, the front end lowers quickly (dives) and then the compressor fills the front end up again, taking 30 seconds to get to ride height. Just as it gets to normal ride height, the cycle repeats. If parked, it is more obvious, but basically it is dropping and rising every 30 seocnds until, after a number of cycles (8-10), the 'Normal height only available caption shows'. Presumably the compressor has had enough at this point? Both the drivers and passengers sides dive at the same rate, and simultaneously, so not inclined to believe it is the struts?? Rear end seems unaffected to this issue. Any suggestions?

The bad news, you have a leak or malfunction in the front block, lines or springs. Deal with it quick or you will burn out the pump.
Out of interest, where would someone named "CanadianTim" be from?

Got into the forward block area to find the block lying on the frame. It had obviously been replaced and the person replacing it didn't remove the 3 rubber shock mounts from the previous block. That meant the replacement didn't clip in properly I guess and vibrated out. Once on the frame, the vibrations loosened the electrical plug - hanging on by a thread! Old rubbers removed, electrical plug cleaned and refitted. Remounted, correctly, and tested. All works properly. Zero cost for once, but a couple of enjoyable hours cleaning it all up. Thanks again to those that helped out.
