Hi all have just recently bought JCB 3cx its a1985 white cab and in the process of doing services we have changed filter and cleaned strainer on the transmission have topped up with new oil
When we start up the warning alarm comes on straight away on the dashboard showing high temp can anyone please advice
Many Thanks

Is that the transmission temp or engine light? Likely to be a wire shorting somewhere or perhaps it could be a faulty sender.

It's the transmission temp that came up when i switched the ignition on.Checked this morning and the alarm had cleared maybe there was enough oil covering the sensor
and has found it's level by this morning ?
Should I have run the transmission for a few minutes after the oil change?

More likely to be trans press switch if starved of oil I would have thought?
