Jcb 1135

[ryan1135]

hi guys
Feel very stupid asking this but I bought a jcb 1135 back part of last year the brakes are now pritty much non existent the rear brakes I don't think are doing anything you press the peddle and a couple of seconds maby just 2 then the brakes come on but only just I think front brakes only that are doing anything guess the brakes are air over hydronic could it be it needs the oil topping up this leads me to the question where the hell dose an 1135 get the oil for the brakes I can't find a oil reservoir any wear I have noticed one of the back suspension height adjusters things seems to have failed as its sat down on one side and the hight adjuster had a lot of oil round it the seals have gone wondered if the brakes run through the same system I guess not but just checking

Also 4ws not working any body know where I could start trying to source the folt with that ?


Only do bits and bats with it so don't really want to take it to jcb as they will cost a fortune
Cheers Ryan

Also the handbrake p light started staying on round the same time

 

[john432]

thought the brake oil reservoirs are under the cab in a compartment by the steps?

 

[ryan1135]

Is that the same side as the battery?

I think you need a manual, might save you a bit........

There's two different systems between early and later fastrac.
1135 is on hydraulic oil

 

[ryan1135]

R reg looked in the owners manual and can't find out will have to have a proper investigation

 

[Jato]

Is handbrake an air one then?

 

[ryan1135]

No cable so must be a earlier one

 

[Jato]

Cable type hand brake are crap at best.
Hydraulic brakes with accumulators for normal brakes.

Cable

So their should be a reservoir somewhere should their

 

[michael N123]

Think you need someone who nos what there doing to look at it in person

I should have some info on these early brake circuit somewhere , I will look it out and post the info , but yes the early ones are from the hydraulic oil.

what exactly is wrong with the 4ws? any lights on the 4ws panel? have you checked the fuses etc or does it not unlock/change modes, on the later ones not sure on a early one , if you take out the 4ws panel there is a little red light that will flash a error blink code,

I had a 96 P reg 1135, that had the air handbrake. On that one their was two reservoirs in the battery compartment for the brakes, they used brake fluid from memory. Another thing worth checking is the condition of your brake pads and also the pins that hold them in place. I had bother at one stage with poor brakes and it was down to the pins that hold the pads in place not allowing the pads to slide so under braking the caliper pistons were just bending the pads towards the discs. Took the pads out and gave everything a good clean and put them back in with new pins and all sorted.
With your 4ws it would be worth checking the wiring that goes into the sensor on the top kingpin of the front axle. Mine use to break the wire were it bends. Also there is a connection zip tied to one of the front axle suspension tie rods, worth checking that is ok.

Thanks for the info guys I'll have a look in to it today the 4ws just had a red x on the 4ws dash board on the pillar will check all wires and connections some one did tell me their is a magnet on the axle for when it's straight and they can move or something don't know if any ones heard of that?

 

[ryan1135]

Found a wire or front axle rotted through [emoji106] back pads sticking and down order some pads today hopefully that will fix it will report back thanks guys

 

[ryan1135]

Right guys still no closer [emoji35] any help greatly appreciated found and repairs a broken wire to the hub switch followed the wires now all good the back 4ws switch was broken replaced that now when it's running I press unlock and a 4ws selection and I hear air persurising down near the ram and the controls panel bleeps but doesn't light up or anything don't change any suggestions would be great [emoji106]
