Have cured my dribble problem, amazing what a bit of aquarium grade silicone can do  :))  the door seal is not like others, its flat and fits over a metal rim, now weather it is supposed to have some sort of clamp (like most other automatics) or due to wear, the water was seeping around this bit of the seal so I squeezed in a small amount of silicon fitted the seal and cleaned up. tried it today and its bone dry  :thumbsup:

This is a video of the motor going fro rinse into spin, its a bit dark but you get the idea.

So last week I decided to re spray the Bendix, a quick rubdown and a lot of masking off later and it was ready for painting, problem was I had no paint  :D  so a quick trip to Halfrouds for a large can of white.  There were some runs and blemishes but this was never going to be a concourse machine so I found some left over vinyl stickers and then raided Mrs Madrats card making draws to produce this.
