    these machines are workhorses, fixable, reliable, hot & cold fill, million times better than modern junk

    Nice job dude, thanks so much for the vid. I just changed the four support springs and 2 pistons on my 20 year old Miele that cost me £900 back then. Look forward to when the bearing goes🙀

      Good luck! Usually you have to buy the tub drum etc as an assembly!, try the online spares websites, they all seem to have the same inventory!

    It would be cool if there was a database of new machines with split drums that the bearings could be changed in them. I’ve a hotpoint Aquarius 11kg and I’m nearly sure it’s a sealed drum so when the bearings go, that’s it. I’m trying to avoid that in the future

    I saw one of your earlier videos where you completely dismantle the washer !! amazing.. I do have a quick question. If I cannot thread in the foot for the washer ( 800 series) because the bootm panel is bent, is there a good fix for it> replace the bottom panel?

      @@bootsowen Not sure ... thinking of lying it side by side and see what the issue is. SO far trying to thread it through a feel. Is the vibration problem typical for Bosch ( this is our first one)... it is a 800 series washer and supposed to be quiet ... but vibration and moving is quite a bit!

      Maybe. It depends on whether the tub is welded up or has screws. If you take the top off your machine then you can check
