noise ! .... or did I just not notice the noise from the motor before the

Yes, while there is a small point of contact. They should quieten
down when they bed in, and take on the profile of the commutator,



thanks...thought that might be the case....the brushes were a distress
purchase at a shop in Glasgow...pattern parts £20.....when I checked later I
could have got the genuine part on ebait delivered for £9.95.......that is
why I have two cars so I can take my time sourcing parts at a good price
when one breaks down....but you can't have two washing machines.....
