New Toy!!!

Jwilson00: the Zanussi is the IZ 16 S. The one with the tilted drum.

Lavamat78800: the movement I referred to, is the inner drum moving within the outer wash-tub. When empty, if you try to push up the inner drum, using your fingertips upon the drum rim. You might be able to identify a slight free movement as you lift up and release. On some makes there is absolutely no movement at all; on others there can be a fraction of a millimetre. On a faulty machine with bearing failure, there can be several millimetres movement.

Sometimes I think that the wash-tub doesn´t run right.

When you turn the drum by hand, does it rotate smoothly, or does it feel as though it 'CLUNKS'? This could indicate that the bearings or support spider are faulty.

It clanks and whent it´s spinning it´s knocking.
Sometimes the tub moves heavily sometimes not.
