Thanks Richard,

It is the belt--very slack. I have ordered one about £7.00 due in the
post. There is a guarantee--but only one year--I'll have to enquire about
the parts warranty.

The one-year warranty is the usual parts and labour, and the five-year is
parts only and presumably only if you used an approved repair agent - they
won't just give you the part to fit yourself. Not worth bothering for a £7
belt - the labour would probably be more than that!

Bye

Rick
