Air Suspension

I have recently purchased an 18 month old SE and over night the suspension drops to such an extent the top of the tyre is hidden behind the wheel arch and well below access height. When the vehicle is started it slowly rises to the last to normal ride height. Could someone please tell me if this is normal or should the height stay where it was set when the vehicle was parked? Question

They do settle slightly - inch tops, but I have never seen mine sink that low, either parked on level or incline
At 18 months - still under warranty, I'd get dealer to check out

Does it sink on all corners? I'm getting my front airspring / shocker assemblies replaced because of a fault on the offside one. I've had a new valve block in the past.

Before going into the dealer, I ran a test by removing the air suspension control fuse (3 in the BJB from memory) so that it wouldn't self level overnight - in the morning it was very obvious where the problem was. Dealer ran their own tests, confirmed my diagnosis, and have parts on order for me.

Thanks folks for you interest. It does sink evenly. It seems a visit to the dealer is next on the list.
