P1 & P2 are normally separate, with the exception of when X1 is used (hammer circuit) the flow from both sides of the pump are used in the block for hammer or Auxiliary use. I am guessing that if they are saying they had piped up the hitch incorrectly to start with, then the issues with tracking, slew and bucket are probably all connected by a pilot issue, can you get a full report of all work done?
Spoke to the dealer fitter today he totally disconnected the q hitch and it made no diff to the fault🙉

Apparently its coming back next week its had a full new valve block new oil and all filters and when they tried it the problem was still there so now they are saying kobelco have gave them a anti cavitation system to install and its cured it so i will know when its back i asked the salesman to come and price buying it back of me as ive lost faith in it and them and he basicly said he didnt want it and he would speak to a dealer to get a price i said you are a dealer and a kobelco one at that he reckons jcb will offer me more than he can so does this mean he knows more than hes letting on and doesn't want to re sell it ???

as said .. unfit for purpose .. has been from the start if they have had to do all they have AND then fit an additional valve to attempt to rectify an inherent problem from new, as supplied ..... complete refund required plus comp. for all the hassle, etc.,etc.

Get the anti-cavitation system fitment admission in an email if you can. Get it back, if not fixed then reject it as not fit for purpose and demand a refund.

Hopefully it is fixed!
However, if it still isn’t right when it comes back I’d be arguing the ‘not fit for purpose’ angle, particularly if there is a reason it may cause a safety issue.
(The sale of goods act 1979 does cover business to business sales as well as business to consumer, so don’t be put off by anyone telling you it doesn’t apply to your situation).
