I've managed to remove the old door gasket, but I'm having trouble fitting the new one(I cannot fit the sping). Can the seal be fitted with the drum still in the machine?
After putting the seal on with the aid of washing up liquid put the spring on first by the door catch hold it on with one hand and isnert a screwdriver in the hole for the door catch this will enable you to hold the spring on if you put your knee against the screwdriver giving you two hands free to push the spring on
WELL TO BE ONEST WITH YA YOUR GONNA STRUGGLE WITH IT TO GET IT ON AS THE FRONT PANEL DOES NOT COME OFF THE MACHINE UNLIKE THE HOTPOINTS. wHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS FRIST PUT THE DOORSEAL ON WITH OUT THE SPRING RING. THEN GET SOME FAIRY LIQUIED AND RUB IT INTO THE SPRING RING THIS WILL HELP MAKE PUTTING IT ON A LITTLE EASIER. YOU MIGHT MOST LIKELY WILL NEED TWO PEOPLE FOR THE JOB TO HOLD THE ONE SIDE OF THE SPRING AS YOU FOR IT ON TO THE OTHER SIDE. TURST ME FAIRY LIQUID WILL MAKE THE JOB ALOT EAISER. AND YES IT IS ALWAYS FITTED WITH THE DRUM INSIDE THE MACHINE AN AVERAGE TIME FOR AN ENGINEER IS ABUT 45 SECONDS FOR GETTING IT ON THE DRUM. TRY TRY AND TRY AGAIN MY FIRST ONE TOOK ME 20 MINS I STRUGGLED BUT NOW I DO EM IN A FLASH. FAIRY IS THE KEY IT HELPS THE SPRING TRAVEL EAISER INTO ITS POSTION.

Hope this helps you out :)
It was really helpful to use washing up liquid both to fit the rubber bellow over the inner drum and to fit the spring ring to fix the bellow. The key is the washing up liquid. Thanks for your help.
