I've seen a post that suggests drilling a couple of 3mm holes in the
sides of the spray arm to aid with centrifugal force that a few people
have had success with. Tried it but no luck.

Wouldn't have done that. Ultimately will probably just reduce the
pressure.

I'm probably gonna buy this spare arm and try it...

I don't see any justification for that.
Well - I thought that if water is leaking out at back or at bearings
then £19 would be worth a punt.


but wondered if anyone has any other advice before I start splashing
out.

Don't go to Currys - go to the manufacturer. See this website...

Excellent site, I'll have a look and report back. Thanks.


Select Siemens and your model number - best add the two digit suffix
(/nn) to the above.

Then browse the diagrams. I'd suggest taking the side off and watching
the pipes. Probably just two screws inside the front (take the left side
off first) although if there's a worktop you'll need to remove it. On
mine, it's two plastic push-up latches at the rear.

Could be that the impeller of the pump has worn and the water pressure is
low. Can't see that the arm would need replacing unless you can see damage.

Could be. If it's anything like my old Bosch DW then the impellor is
made of very flimsy plastic.
