First thing I'd do is check the tyre pressures.
No knocks or noises? In suspension warning fault?

I'm having similar problems, see here http://disco3.co.uk/forum/topic151632.html - 'Wallowy Ride"
Check all the items mentioned above first as above, get the tracking done (note engine must be left running while its done unless the garage has access to a diagnostic unit to lock up the suspension)
then get height sensor cal checked, if still bad, watch my post! I will most likely change the valve bodies early next month, over weekend will pull suspension fuse and see if any side sinks, but with the mileage I have and the fact that the compressor and dessicant were changed means I reckon that it would be surprising if all the valves were ok still in my Disco

I'm trying to get my head around this, (and not suggesting it didn't fix yours Bear1009), as it was suggested to me also that it could be the compresser, although I reconned mine about 18 months ago.
My reasoning (which could be wrong I'll admit) against a worn compressor causing the 'wallowing', would be that surely the pressure must be OK, or the suspension wouldn't lift up to access height quickly (as mine does).
When my compressor was failing it often turned on the suspension fault lamp and either wouldn't pump up access mode, or take an age to do so, and if suspension was lowered it would also take quite a while to pump up to normal height.
Is there away of measuring the pressure using a diagnostic unit, or even anyone done a mod to install a pressure guage, as I've seen for older Range Rovers (yes, I understand it was a completely different air suspension system).

IID tool can show the pressure in various parts of the suspension system.

I did a check today with the IID tool and pressure looks OK, see my Wallowy Ride 2.0 thread for more details
