Morning all,
Had the car for a few days, have just noticed that the suspension sits lower on one side by about an inch at all ride heights.
Any idea's as to what may be causing this?
Cheers
Steve

Could just need a height calibration.  Easiest issue to deal with and just go from there. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

This was done during the pre delivery inspection apparently. It's going back into the dealer next week so we shall see what comes of the investigation.

Sorted it.
In short, I am a plonker. Before convincing yourself of a suspension height issue, make sure the surface you are testing on is flat and level.

Don't worry TC, you're not the first to panic at such symptoms... my stomach sank after I noticed the same rear NS over an inch lower. This WAS sitting dead flat at a petrol garage. I took it for a slow crawl over some lumpy waste ground then set it high and then to access mode and back again. Drove home and that little excersise got it back to normal. Glad you're sorted.
