Germany 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Alaska White

Im doing some repairs on my car. It is in offroad height and on jackstands for a few days now. I m waiting for some new parts which didn’t anticipate. Is it ok to leave the car on offroad height and jackstand for a week for example? 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I asked my Indy about this some time ago.
He recommended parking up in access mode to evacuate as much air as this will allow from the air bags.

The thinking here is that if the air bags are going to rot, they'll do so from the inside out, not from the outside in.
Expelling as much air as possible also expels the moisture content of the air therein.

Mentioned this to friends of mine with a 2019 model RRS, to which they responded that theirs has a programmable setting to set the car at access mode height upon locking.

Airbags rot from the outside. Inside is clean air and outside the bag is subject to all sorts of contamination from being in the wheel well.

When I cut them apart after removing them from the strut the inside was like new.
Can't see any reason it can't be left for long periods of time at whatever height you choose 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
