What services can you use? Or is there nothing at all working? Boom down or up?

Steering? Is the boom down? The Main relief is behind the panel under the cab accessible by lifting the boom and taking off the panel!

6b is main relief, you may be able to reach it leaning over the boom, if the boom is in the air, don’t take it out unless propped!

Our Loadall 535-125 has started using brake fluid, it was topped up around September October last year, early Feb the pedal went away and reservoir was empty, no signs of leakage anywhere, it was replenished and bleed but is all gone today. Suspect it's leaking in one of the axles. Anyone done anything with this issue before?

👍🏻 a few! Do you have a due type reservoir? Take the level bungs out of both axles, as long as they were recently topped up the levels will be good so oil will run out if you are losing a fair bit

Yea, just as mick said, most likely front axle piston seals

Are they awkward to do? Be half shafts out and diff out to get at it?
Would normally have a go at this myself but just so much happening right now I might have to phone JCB 🤦🏻‍♂️
