Candy grand 1400 Out of interest how old is the machine? As it was in the house when we moved in.

Heat pistol a few more bangs with the hammer and....BINGO got the screw off. thanks all for the advice.

`Heat pistol` ? Is that the paint stripper, if yes , then I have one so will give that a try. I will try and mask the surrounding area as there is a lot of plastic.

The torx head thingy that holds the pulley on I cant turn one way or the other as its very tight but there is play on the pulley as it can move back and forth slightly (this is making the noise) but the torx head doesnt move, so I would assume the `play` is in the pulley part. Any ideas how...

OK I think I have found the scource of the noise view on video clip. http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h194/scudo/?action=view&current=0012.mp4 So how bad is this? It feels like the `spider` is worn rather than the bearings but then not knowing washing machines I could be wrong.

Dont understand `a paddle`, Got it now from google. Do I just prise off?

OK I will pull it back out tomorrow and see what I can find. Does it sound like bearings? or something trapped.

There doesnt appear to be any up or down movement however the video clip below gives an indication of the noise. http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h194/scudo/?action=view&current=001.mp4

Washing machine was in house when we bought it and it made a kind of ticking noise when the drum was tumbling/spinning, nothing too severe but noticeable. Sounds a bit like if a shirt was washing and a button was hitting the side on every revolution. Since then I have resited the machine...

Just done all this not quite a full refurbish but a lot of stuff moved around and old floor lifted. The order i done things.... Moved the extractor fan. Disassembled unwanted units, took out oven/hob. Lifted old floor. Had gas and elec guys come in and do their bits. Painted...

Thanks for replies, I thought after replies 2 x 2 " but maybe now 2 x 3" would be better to allow for a door frame.

I will shortly be putting a nonload bearing partition into bedroom to be used as a walk in wardrobe, Slightly confused as to what size of timber to use for partition framework. This is what google throws up but gives no reason for using either size. 44 x 69mm OR 47 x 75mm kiln dried OR...

Thanks foxhole.

I have just recently moved house and the washing machine and tumble dryer are under the sink section of worktop, they are free standing and have normal unit doors to access them, ie the doors are not fixed to the appliances. Having said that the worktop is deeper than standard and there is...

Having remodelled my kitchen I have quite a bit of black high gloss flatpack kitchen panels left (basically chipboard). I would like to make a couple of shelves similar to the pic below. The shelf would be approx 7 inches deep and maybe 2 feet wide How would I join the `panels` together...

See pic below. 1. Area of damp at base of wall / slabs. Should there be a gap between the slab and the wall, crrently it is filled in and I suspect water seeping up the wall. 2. As you can see the area all around is totally dry except for that one patch which happens quite often, there...

Ah well looks like he has decisions to make (son) I may try and help out but not keen for such a large area. Will review in the new year. Thanks for the replies guys.

I got the impression from my son the guy wont come back a third time hence looking for an amateur remedy. I did get some advice from this forum a couple of weeks back re skimming for myself and although I was happy with results, it was a small wall and I wouldnt want to tackle a stairwell. Thats...

Son had stairwell skimmed after a couple of days a patch (couple sg feet) was cracked and blown. Skimmer came back and redone, same thing happened and some other parts have developed cracks. I doubt if the guy will come back a third time and the chances are he wouldnt cure it. The area is too...

What would be an approx cost for a gas installation for a gas cooker, it will require about 5 feet of pipework to the cooker location, then connected to the cooker with relevent safety checks. Located central scotland and assuming no problems.
