Front air suspension re-levelling after starting

When the car is left in normal height and parked - is it normal for the front suspension to rise slightly occasionally after starting the car or does this indicate a leak? I’m wondering whether the car is just re levelling itself or if pressure is lost and then recharge when the car is started? Grateful for any guidance before I add to the list of warranty jobs! 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

Where you park is it level or does it dip down slightly? If it has a slight dip the suspension maybe finding it's level when you start up, you could park the other way round and see if the front still lifts. Also, not very scientific I know but you could measure the gap between tyre and wheel arch when you park and check again next time you go to the car and see if it's dropped.

I think the surfaces are pretty level and would not have thought the amount of height change would be needed to correct. Most of the Time the car is Set to auto access height but if I turn it off and leave the car at normal height, you see the front height minor correction when starting. 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

thanks Stan. I think I'll turn on auto access height again and then I won't need to worry Laughing 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

Rising a bit on start-up is normal as far as I am concerned, I've never worried about it. I asked for auto access height to be turned off as I don't need it and it's just adding to the "work" the car has to do so it might wear out sooner (?). Only Range Rovers since 1988

you say that you 'asked' for the auto access height to be turned off, did you know that its selectable in the drivers menu... ... - .- -.

You are quite right, what I did was to ask the dealer to turn it off at handover as I knew it would default to that and I didn't want to have to work out how to switch it off. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Mine does the same - and mainly happens at home as our widened driveway has a distinct slope and dip Smile Current
