Ignore the noises as it was an unbalanced load of heavy bathmats and I advanced the timer.

New Motor
Richard this is excellent news that at last you have got the machine sorted out, it sounds sweet just like a Hoover 1100 should.
Who fitted the motor for you?

I fitted the motor myself after much hassle of getting socket wrenches and the right size etc and the one to fit the socket I had bought etc I fitted it and the belt is at the right tension also not too tight about 1/2 an inch can be pressed in by thumb etc.
It does sound great, ignore the unbalanced load that was cos I didnt let it do all its spins and distribution but only 3 small items in but they were bathmats you see.
The machine is looking great now and fingers crossed I get a few good years of use out of it.
I told the guy who messed the first motor up that he needs to come look at the motor and take it away and check the rear bearing on it as it didnt make that noise before hand!
Anything else I should be aware of, I hope nothing like the heater, timer etc goes wrong next,
As I say the motor that I took out was cosmetically in mint condition as does evertyhing else inside so its been well looked after so hopefully plenty of life left yet.

Hi Well done Richard,
Dont worry about other parts going, all the parts for these machines are still available or repairable.
There are even specialist companies around who can repair the timer and the speed control board.
Enjoy the machine and don't work her too hard!

Hoover 1100s
Well done aswell Richard, yep you have had a bit of journey with this machine but I hope you now enjoy it.
These are reliable machines, and really you shouldnt have any problems
Advice
Dont kick it up to maximum spin with a load in there, the entire final spin cycle is designed to remove as much water as possible so the load is as light as possibe thus reducing the load on the drum bearings at the 1100 spin speed
How do you find the wash results etc with this machine compared to your old one?

Mirroring what Bertrum said....
....always bear in mind that she is an old girl. Dont work her too hard, be gentle and she should be loyal for a while yet.
Spares are quite easy to come buy and you know of a great repairman already, who has all the knowledge.
Good on you Richard.
Regards
paul

Gary... the wash results are outstanding when compared to my old one, im sure its a combination of the faster more vigorous tumbles and water usage.
That reminds me... ive been out partying all weekend and now have loads of washing to start... yey!
