I think I'm going to have to remove the cistern. Seen a few photos elsewhere, and there is a threaded section at the bottom of the valve tube. This suggests there will be a locknut under the cistern which holds it in place. Thanks for your help anyway. That's my job for tomorrow sorted out!

Yes - the more input the better! Always possible that someone, somewhere has had the same problem.

The machine is in the same spot it has occupied for ten years, and it's level. Had top off already - no wear at spring fixing points. Pressed drum down through front loading opening the drum goes up and down without problem. The noise definitely comes from the bottom where the shockers are. The...

Thanks fo your input. Don't think the bra wire theory can be right. The drum spins without any noise when washing or when I turn it by hand when it's empty. I can produce the noise, as I said, by gently rocking the whole unit inside when I remove the machine's top panel. In fact, if I remove...

Had this machine trouble free for ten years - so can't really complain. Recently it has developed a tapping noise which gets faster and louder as the spin speed increases (doesn't happen on wash cycles, only when the drum begins to rock when spinning). Took top off and checked that nothing was...
