thanks very much for your help. it took me six hours to do it but it finally works now. cleaned out the filter but it still trickled so removed the waste hose and it was clogged with limescale. put it all back together then the waste pipe started overflowing so cleaned that out too so now works perfectly. very proud of myself

use a pint of white vinegar once a month on a 95 wash no tabs no clothes .let it boil up and clean it out and dont use quick wash it clogs mc up .
