Default Ok, whats with my 4X4 Jaguar ?

So a week ago I had the two front struts replaced with Arnotts. Car has been fine, sits fine, rides fine, bla bla. Last two days I come out in the morning and the car is sitting higher on all 4 corners. As soon as I open the drivers door I hear the compressor release air and by the time I get in, belted and key in the ignition, its leveled off to normal. Doesn't do it again during the day.

I didn't rebuild the compressor yet (on my list) but would that have something to do with it or would it be something else.

Thanks !

I think he's just referencing the fact that the Jaguar is sitting high like a four wheel drive vehicle...it's not literally 4x4.

As to the actual problem, who performed the suspension replacement? There are several heght sensors, might want to check to make sure they are not damaged.

I had it done by a suspension guy, that's all he does but mostly 4X4's. He did the ones on my Range Rover and I had no issue. Its still up again today so I guess I will need to search for a cause but was hoping someone here would have a quick answer.

Yes the 4X4 comment was because of the shock being at full height not that its an actual 4X4.
