    Disco 2 Passenger side 1cm higher than driver's, how to level?

    My passenger side is always higher than driver side unless driver side parks on kerb. I have used nanocom to lower/raise left/right side, but after I drive back, the problem is still there. I am not sure, maybe one of height sensors is faulty.
