Came out to the car Wednesday morning and rear drivers side corner only had sagged down onto bump stops. She had been sat for 7 hours overnight. Fired car up and it lifted straight away so the compressor working fine. It's now midnight Thursday and hasn't dropped or sagged since and all seems to be fine. Any ideas other than leaks why this may be so.

I replaced compressor several months ago after that failed completely. I told myself at that point I would do a spring conversion if I had any more issues with the air suspension. Scratching me head as to what the issue can be as if leaking it would've dropped again.

Meant to be going away Monday with a lot of weight in car so any speedy replys would be much appreciated ta....

My R Class did similar. Sometimes it sank & other times it stayed level. It was the air bags that'd failed.

See my post in SHamgits thread, more than likely the valves on the bags themselves sticking.
