Should the D3 sit level ?
Mine has always looked higher at the back, and on measuring from the floor to the bottom of the arch there is roughly 60mm difference in all modes. Is this correct ?

Doesn’t sound like it , however please re- measure it from the centre of the wheels to the bottom of the wheel arches in normal ride height
Fronts 466mm
Rears 485 mm
Just thought then with the new figures will see if it needs recalibration
Hope that may help

The fronts are about right, but I have around 520mm at the back.

Make sure that you’re on level ground when you do it as the D3 self levels throughout the day so if you’re on a slope those measurements will be off2008 HSE Stornoway Grey

Thks, apologises as I should have also said about the level ground that @kevin mentions
So if it’s still out on the rear by some 35mm indeed would get it plugged into diagnostics for it to be recalibrated , do u have ur own diagnostics yet plse
Hope it helps and plse let us know how u get on

It doesn't level to the ground, only to match the other corners.

'Flat' ground would be a better term, it needs to be on a surface that the suspension won't be articulating on, however slightly. It's also worth sending up to offroad, down to access then normal height, followed by a short roll forwards and backwards - a metre or so would do it - just so everything is fully 'relaxed'.
