The best option is to remove the rear springs and replace with standard coil springs.
Arnott makes a kit for this about $300.00

Check for cracks in the rear bags. They wear out and weather, and then bleed out air.

How to convert a 2001 Range rover 4.6 HSE from Air Bags to Shock Struts & Springs. I have replaced the air ride computer and the air bags. Had installed a manual system using switches. the rear air...

This is not a difficult job for a specialist shop used to doing the conversion but doing it yourself is NOT recommended unless you have a hoist, special tools (like spring compressors) and experience of what to remove.
Do NOT go to a dealer to be ripped off. A specialist Land Rover shop will do this job for around $1000 and save you a lot of angst

Discovery has started to drop on wheels at the back

Hi,
Well , Your rig has an air ride suspension. The fix may be simple. A loose air line. Expensive , The compressor, the air bags or control valve.
There is available an after-market non air suspension kit.
Sorry ---- other than the loose air lines it get's spendy. I do not know the prices.

Suspension air compressor

If your compressor is running all the time, it is almost certain that you have a leak. It could be either in the lines going to the rear air bags, or the air bags themselves. Simplest way to find a leak, is to get a spray bottle with soapy water, make sure the suspension is aired up, and spray the lines starting from the compressor. Work all the way back to the bags, now when you get the bags nice and soapy then bounce the rear of the truck up and down. If their are any leaks the soapy water will bubble up showing you wear the leak it.
That is how i would start.

If its a bigger leak the rear air bags wont stay aired up, if its a small leak, then the air compressor will be running all the time to keep the truck aired up.

Remember, when you are driving, the compressor is constantly working to keep the rear bags at the proper height, even more so on rough roads.
