Park Up and Leave in Off Road Height OK?
In order to try and avoid door dings and the like...... I was thinking of parking my MY16 HSE in an airport car park for 10 days or so in Off Road height - a bit like what I do in a supermarket car park (only not for so long....!) Anyone tried this - is it OK to do it?
Just wondering.... 2016MY Discovery HSE - Black

I sometimes park mine at off-road height to make the Kia 4x4 thing luck tiny.

Trouble with parking in off-road height is you'll be a sucker for spare wheel and/or catalytic converter theft.
Whereas if you slam it, there's less chance....... always on the road less travelled 🚧

.... didn't think of that..... b ks.....!!
Now not so sure - still, the airport is meant to be secure parking..... and its park and take my keys with me..... none of this nonsense letting them park it - no chance!!
Now, decisions, decisions......? 2016MY Discovery HSE - Black

Always put mine in access at the airport to make it more awkward to crawl underneath.
