Thanks again Mike. Glad I asked for advice. Everyone's been so helpful.I really appreciate it. I'm definitely going to try and sort it myself. Going to have a look about this week at some point for the metal foil ducting that was mentioned. If I can't sort it or it becomes too much of a job to...

Your a star Mathew Really appreciate that Mathew. Thanks very much. In the event I cant get it fitted properly I wouldnt be able to keep it. Are there places I could donate an old machine like this to? Seems a shame to tip it when its still in working order but i know my local charity shops...

Thanks so much There's a fireplace and wood burning stove showroom near me that I could nip in and ask. I'll give it a shot if I can't get something already made. Trust me to get a dryer with an awkward part 😏 it'll be alright when it's all sorted and I'm not having to leave Windows open when...

Date of machine Is anyone able to tell how I can tell manufacture date from the serial number? Tia x
