Service and diagnosis

Why does my hydraulic filter keep clogging?

Repeated clogging suggests contamination, component wear, or debris entering from repairs or damaged hoses.

Why did my JCB lose power after repair?

Incorrect hose routing, wrong pump fitment, air in the system, or a missed connection are common after-service causes.

Why does it fail only when working hard?

Failures under load often reveal marginal pump pressure, relief issues, or heat-related internal leakage.

Why is it slow in the morning?

Cold oil, restricted filters, or weak pump output can cause slow first-start operation.

Why does it start poorly in cold weather?

Battery capacity, glow plugs, fuel gelling, and poor cranking speed are the main suspects.
