I think mine has air suspension at the rear end. I've noticed that it sinks when parked up. Is this normal or a sign of trouble to come?

Mirror Man,
Before your blood pressure gets too high with the thought of replacing Air Suspension parts ...Have you got Air Suspension on your car ?
You have an Elegance on 16" Wheels, Air Suspension was generally an optional extra normally on the Avantgarde Models.
So I checked your previous posts and believe you have this vehicle ...
........Identification number: WDB2112162A714796 5.....
From your Vin Number on the 19th March, you were given the Data Card Information ( courtesy Markjay ), and this shows no mention of any Air Suspension on your car.
As a quick check have you got..... Normal / Sport 1 / Sport 2 modes on a button at the base of the gear selector, and another button next to it, to raise the car upwards 25mm.
If not ...then you do not have Air Suspension.
However, it is right to say that all the Estates have Self Levelling Suspension, which is a different ball game and also lots cheaper to fix than Air Suspension.
May I suggest, in the nicest possible way, that you check to see if you have Air Suspension or not.
If not,.....we can start again and go down a different route to fixing it. Cheaper route !

Jonathan ,
All I have done is to confirm that you do not have the full Airmatic Air Suspension on your car. In fact, I should have read things properly because there was no need. Was jumping to conclusions that were not relevant.. sorry about that.. it has been a bad day.
Anyway before you go about replacing bellows / air bags. there are levelling sensors that can fail, do you have any notification on the dash? Might need a star session to pinpoint the problem rather than replace parts on spec.
Time for reflection and a small Brugal Extra Viejo....or two

Hi,
I think the little alloy tanks are only on cars with full airmatic.
The OPs car only has self levelling rear suspension as is standard on all estates.
