Thanks for taking the time to reply Penguin45.

Is the drain pump the large plastic cylinder about 4 inches in diameter right at the front of the base of the machine on the extreme left? This is a pale browny orange on our machine but this is probably due to staining over the years. The chattering buzzing noise is coming from IT or something above it. Also, a black rubber pipe comes from the overflow valve in the base of the machine (I assume to drain water into the bottom sump if the machine internally floods, raising the cutoff switch). Is the other end of this pipe supposed to be loose in the bottom sump of the machine – or should it be attached somewhere else and has come off?

I’ve requested an engineer via the Whitegoods link but are waiting for him to phone to book appointment.
