Unfortunately it is not worth replacing the drum in this old machine as I have seen it at £178 plus my time to do it and I suddenly got very busy at work. Then the rest of the machine will still be old, like the seal. Unless the front part of the drum can be replaced which I doubt as it is...

So it is! I thought that the protruding plastic was the welding between 2 parts of the drum. Now the question is, is it worth trying to replace it? seal it to give it a bit more life? Is it going to cost me more than a second hand machine? Where do I get the spare part? Where do I buy the...

Hello, I am completely puzzled as to where the leak in my washing machine is coming from. Lots of water pour out from underneath the machine. Three clues: 1- There were some bits of white plastic (as the plastic the outer drum is made of) last time I took out the wash after flooding the...

I find it difficult to believe that water is being soaked up by the walll from the gully area as the wall nearer to the gully has no damage. The damaged wall is not cavity as it was an internal door. I doubt about rding damp as it was not there when we installed the conservatory. The DPC seems...

Roy, No the connections to the gulley are right, the pipe coming from the sink goes into the gully, then the gully goes into the sewer pipe. The local BC inspector has checked this. of course the problem is that the downpipe from the gutter is still not there. I may have to go and install it...

I have hired and fired a number of builders on this job so it will be difficult to pin down any of them on the blame. They will all blame each other.

Yes we cut a hole in the wall for the conservatory. I am starting to believe that water from the gutter with no downpipe above has got through the corner of the brick wall and the conservatory into the wall inside. Here are the photos: Outside corner: I used to put the bucket in the...
