Valver stays up for about half a day. The estate used to sink at the rear after a day, but would stay up for a week at the front!

Is it good or bad ?
Is it a good or bad sign that the suspension stays up (if that is what you are on about) ?
Mine drops at the rear after a couple of hours and about a day on the front.

I've always been led to believe its better if they sink quickly, aslong as they aren't leaking etc. I'm sure the reason the estate stays up is stick struts!

Yes, I agree. The car should remain up all night unless it is windy or very hot. The front should sink at a similar rate if the struts are not binding. For the record, My tick time is 3 minutes and the sink time is greater than 36 hours at the back following replacement of Doseur, rear HC and accumulator sphere so that's about as good as it is likely to get. This can be confusing; cars that rise immediately from cold are regarded as good when it really means that their spheres have failed!
