Hello Grahams. It looks like you've covered most of the main causes of noisy washing machines - especially a very loud noise. Unfortunately I can't guess at anything because you haven't described the noise (although it's difficult to describe noises accurately). The only thing I can suggest is to painstakingly go through all of the possible causes in my two articles on the subject staring here - Washing Machine is noisy

Hello. If it's drum bearings it should be obvious if you spin the drum by hand with the belt taken off. It should rumble. I would advise against trying to replace drum bearings. Too big a job, too many potential complications such as finding drum shaft or spider damaged and bearings seized in drum and won't come out - plus most modern washing machines only have complete drums available with bearings already fitted at great expense. You'd have to put your model into a spares site to see if they are available.
