Thanks...
... and sorry for hijacking your thread. yes, it is great, no mould inside and in great nick. I replaced the pump and a few perished hoses.
It would make a great machine for someone that wanted an efficient little retro machine. The writing ion the fascia is all intact too.

Yes Mike, I think I will sell it.
It's in my garage and, although it's not in my way, I would rather see it go to someone who would appreciate and use it. I got it from a house clearance - judging by the condition of it, It had not been used much. I think the door seal is original Hoover and is not manky/mouldy at all.
There's no rust/dents either.
I put an anti-twist kit on, a new sump hose and a heater. I used it occasionally as a second machine, and it has been A1.
Basically, a vintage(ish) machine that needs no work, from what I can see.
£60 should be reasonable, considering that is what it owes me. I already have a timeline Logic that I renovated last winter and a Bosch V696 washer-dryer, oh, and that 1509/10 Hotpoint top-loader (and a Bosch WFL2260) so I don't really need another Logic hanging about!

Well if it's still about in a couple of months, let me know. It sounds like it's still got a lot of life left in it.

Epoxy mastic
Took your advice and got some of this paint - just done and waiting to dry.
Next step is the anti-twist kit.

Looking good - the paint is good stuff.
I'll let you know about my Logic; I will probably advertise it on here, in the hope that it goes to a good home, rather than to someone who just wants a cheap machine to hammer. I'm in no rush to get it moved and so let me know if you are serious about taking it on and want more details.

Anti twist suspension kit - tips for removing ....
Any tips for removing the rods ? They won't budge.
Machine is upside down, white plastic guides and springs are off.
Using mole grips to hold the rod, and spanner but they won't move - is it a 2 person job ?
Off for a cuppa .......
Any tips greatly appreciated.

rods
I remember them not being that tricky to remove, when fitted to the machine. I used a 13mm ratchet spanner to remove them.
I think that the 13mm Nyloc nut simply unscrews anticlockwise - but I remember taking care not to grab the bottom part of the rod with the mole grips, so not to damage them so they wear out the guides.

Clamp it very tightly, using 2 molegrips if possible, then give it a go. They do come off...promise!

I have just done this last week on my computer control as it was leaking from the door during rinses even after I changed the door boot.
The way I did it was like you - I turned it upside down and removed the plastic guides but couldn't get the rods out. I then pulled the springs up towards me and the plastic cup and attached my molegrips at this point. As the rods are not moving in the cup there is no chance of damaging the guides etc. Worked a treat but just keep a close eye on the order things come off and try not to drop as its a nightmare getting them out again.
good luck
