Sounds like one of the pumps.Does it make the noise only when draining or when its washing and rinsing.

I'm not 100% sure but it makes the noise when the washers filling and the drums slowly spinning. If you watch the video from 1min 5seconds into the cycle you can here the noise on off.

You should stop mauling with washers then, they seem to get you all wound up

I changed both pumps for £35 for the pair from a very famous auction site and everything is now fine. I did find some water inside the washer on the bottom plastic floor so I replaced the hose clamps with jubilee clips just to make sure.
Tip, for the F1403RD and probably similar models with the curved plastic fascia along the bottom, take the 2 screws out were the filter and drain hose are situated behind the flap (bottom right front of washer) and remove the bottom part of the plastic front , it's held in with clips along the top then it slides up and out at an angle off the hooks along the bottom. This will allow you to access the other 2 screws that hold the main front panel with the door attached..
