My neighbours dishwasher filled up so that when she opened the
door
there
was a few inches of water ready to flood her kitchen floor.

I reckon it is a sensor fault. I dug about on the internet, and it
suggests it is a flow meter that tells the machine how much water
is in
there.

could even be the same machine)

How does the flow meter tell how much water is in there?

Time plus flow is volume.

or I am barking up the wrong tree?

so how does it know when to stop measuring the flow?

It knows when it has turned the flow on and off.

does it drain all the water into that big flat plastic bit at the side?

Dunno, I havent needed to do any work on my Bosch yet.

It does have one major quirk, it can be tricky to get it to
start at times and quite often wont do two runs in a row,
but does start fine the next day. But just a week ago did
3 runs in a row fine. Likely its a bad cap in the electronics
board but I havent even got around to looking at that.

Could be the contacts on the door microswitch.

Nope. You can often get it going by using the
reset setting on the cycle control. Sometimes
that can take 4-5 resets. That doesnt put any
force on the door at all, its a rotary control
which is used to tell it which cycle you want
and the reset is just one of those which flashes
the lights until you stop it with the on off switch.

Thats why I think it might be a bad cap, it appears
to be the controller having a brain fart. Much less
often it does seen to not complete the cycle which
also hints at a bad cap.

Try a knee against the door.

Never have any problem with the door. I do sometimes
manage to add something I have forgotten to put in the
machine, just after I have started it and it always stops
fine when I open the door to put the forgotten item in
and continues fine once I close the door again.
