JCB Hydradig

[Green Bandit]

My Hydradig engine cut out while I was in mid operation, it appears that it is ECU related as I have 3 ??? Next to the RPM and temperature gauges, ! Master warning symbol is lit as well. After entering the security code the high way button flashes, I can turn the key but there is nothing, no check list appears if I leave the safety lever down. My local dealer suggested checking all the fuses which I have done both in the cab and engine, all are good. Has this happen to any one out there and if so what is the problem and fix. Many thanks Hugh

didnt the dealer suggest turning it off and on again as well ? Typical JCB.

 

[Green Bandit]

Yes they told me to turn it off at the isolator switch, no difference

welocome boyo ..... an actual hydrapig pilot ...... .up 'til now .. what're your thoughts .... yours or just op.ing it ?

Sounds daft but check all your light bulbs as well, they sometimes throw a bad earth or a short if one blows.. has all sorts of issues when a taillight lamp goes on the 3cx

It’s mine Boyo, unfortunately typical JCB, great ideas and a cleaver machine with poor execution and shoddy paint work

And a dealer that says "we've never had that before" when you ring up with a problem? I'd have more respect for them if they were honest.

I missed the opportunity for a few hours on one when they were first about ... and have regretted it since ... as GB says great idea, but in the wrong hands

I’m giving serious thought to buying one. Have you had any other issues with it @Green Bandit?

One has appeared in the road works close to where I have been working. Been past quite a bit during this week taking stuff from site. The operator seems to be concentrating so hard yet nothing seems to be moving!!
