You got error fo1, check motor brushes otherwise the Triac on the pcb has gone. New pcb required. Emw in Nottingham for a recon pcb.

Thanks for the quick reply Rocks, will check the brushes, but just incase, where is the pcb located please. Thanks

Also Rocks, would the washer just come on, on its own if it was the bushes, because we wasn't using the washer at the time both lights started to flash without being touched. As weird as it sounds, cant understand.

Pcb is at the back bottom right. Remove the rear lower cover. And yes it can come on and flash.

Thank you. Will let you know how I get on. Thanks

Hi
Sounds like motor fault, triac on the board. Usuallly the motor can pop the board or the board can pop the motor so Id suggest getting both in case...expensive, so maybe worth a fixed price callout from hot off the point
