Hi all, knows there’s a whole.host of knowledge on here so wondering if anyone can help with this. Our Hotpoint washing machine (5 years old) has started to fail at the end of a standard wash cycle. It’s failing to pump out the water and throwing up F05 error code which can mean waste water pump failure or blocked drain line. Thing is if I put it on a spin and pump cycle, after the failure, it pumps all the water out with no isses. Ive taken the washing machine drain line out of the house waste pipe and placed it into a bucket so I can see the water pumping out, which it does. I’ve replaced the pump (even though I suspect the old one was working fine) and checked all drain lines, including ones to the drum, which are clear. Any ideas?

Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated👍

Still looking for my next car and wondering if anybody owns, or has owned, a Merc AMG GLA 45, and if so what they’re like to live with day to day? Will be a 2018 reg so not the new version. I’ve been looking at BMW X5’s, X3’s and the 335d Touring but always loved the look of the AMG GLA (inside and out). This would be used for the work run, motorway travel (mainly to airports with a couple of large suitcases, two teenage daughters in the back and Mrs in the front) ferrying the dog about on A roads and general day to day shorter journeys. Not too fussed regarding MPG, which I’m guessing you can’t be with this engine, but would like it if it could stay in the 30mpg bracket 😁

Anybody had any real word experience with one?

Cheers.
