Cheers Bob.

Am I right in thinking there are two solenoids?

Possibly yes, but forget about the one on the motor if its tipping. (Round one same as starter solenoid)

The one Bob pointed out is the likely culprit. There should be a part number on it. Most good auto factor or agri places will have one, if not they should have it next day. Bin and replace and you're good to go.

this is what the coil on the solenoid for lowering the deck should look like and is a common failure on 12v tipper systems, and good hydraulic supplier should have a replacement, all info needed is usually on one of the sides of the coil. As mentioned above it is where the blue bit is showing in the picture.

@eggsarascal is there any way to remove the solenoid valve to blow it through without pissing hydraulic oil everywhere?

I cracked it with a spanner but after a couple of turns it started pouring out so I tightened it back up.

Not that I'm aware of, you'll have to catch the oil.

If the body is down and you can get at it there is some hope that it'll only be a bit of oil, not litres. If you have to have the body up it could empty the cylinder so be careful.

The part you have found isn't the solenoid itself, the blue bit is.

you can unplug the wires out of the blue block (to left in pic) and check you have current going to it when you go to lower the body. If you have continuous current (you need a multimeter to test it properly but a bulb and bit of wire might do the trick) it's defo the solenoid, if it's intermittent it's wiring.
