Thanks guys for the comments - it was a great find and in pretty good nick for its age.
I took the lid off again for a quick look but will need to take the back off for a proper look at the pecker assembly. What I did notice as that as well as the Bowden cable, there is a hose attached to the door lock presumably to stop you opening the door when it's full of water - seems a bit over engineered! Hopefully the clip is a left over production mishap.
I had checked the filter and it had a few obligatory buttons and shirt collar inserts but not enough to restrict flow. Having used the machine a few times over the weekend I'm guessing it is just the way it is. You get a kind of staggered noise when it first starts which I'm sure I've heard on other machines and the it's fine. When it spins the flow only dribbles out even though you see it streaming down the door but as soon as the drum slows then it pumps out normally. It just seems a bit odd that the designers didn't make the spins a bit shorter to let the water pump out in between the 3 spins during each rinse. I will check the pump though in case there is anything stuck on the impeller.
I'm not sure if this has out of balance sensing. It might have on the final spin as it does seem to take some time distributing and doesn't always do the full 1400 super spin but there is no mention of this in the user book.
Alan - I've checked round the door but there is no serial number and no sign of one so it might of dropped off. I thought it was the number on the top of the rating plate.
Mike - I love the colour of the tub. Yes it has the graphic equaliser spin indicator. Here's another pic but it is hard getting the camera to focus on this due to its brightness so it's a bit blurred.
