Air suspension dropping after days of non use

I have parked my 2003 Vogue for a few days now and noticed that the suspension hasnt dropped to a corner, which is good, but my question is , has anyone an idea how much is should drop after say a week and how long before it drops to the bump stops.
Reason i am asking , being a newbie, i would like to gauge if my system is not leaking and what is normal and what is not.

You have a s;low leak somewhere sir , time to get a spray bottle of soapy water and look at all the air springs at all heights , in all probability it will get worse and then you will overwork the pump. 2008 MY Supercharged

My experience with my 2004 322 was that when it was older it tended to settle down when unused for a week or so, it then raised itself normally when started up, though it could take a while (say 5 mins) to get up to normal height. After that it operated normally and there was no suggestion of a leak from the suspension bags. The back end would lower more than the front, but there was no difference from side to side and it was level in use, i.e. no dropped corners.

I just accepted it as part of the "older RR experience" (my P38 had been similar, and at a younger age) and used it as normal, subject to giving it a bit more time to raise itself when it had been unused for longer. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Take out the fuse and see if it drops. If it does you have a leak.

Mine is parked on a very uneven drive and sometimes drops or gets confused when I turn it on. 2004 L322 V8

The OP states his DOESN'T drop, he's asking if it is normal for them to drop....

Land Rover didn't design them to drop after any period of time, so if it does then something is wrong...

My old bus has been sat on the drive for a week and a day as I'm confined to the house with the new knee and it hasn't dropped at all...

I popped out earlier to check on it and the voltage was down to 12.1 volts but it started fine, suspension hasn't budged... Thumbs Up Pete
