Thanks for all the replies. I'm actually in Ireland. Some good suppliers here that aren't too expensive thankfully.
Bit of an update, the filter I checked was on the front right side. I've checked tha manuals but I've no idea how to get access to the magnet or hydraulic pump etc. I removed two 10" plates from underneath and drained the oil from them but no sign, or i missed it!
Based on some research I've done I think it may be a tired hydraulic pump that's the issue. The lifting capacity is about 1700kgs but it's struggling lifting 500kg silage bales and can't lift after the 3rd one without a good rest.
