Theoretically you simply need a new drum bearing but, if this thread is correct, you can't buy that part on its own. You have to buy a sealed unit (quoted on the thread as about £140 four years ago):

Adding on the labour charge probably makes a repair uneconomical (plus something else might well fail in the near future) so, alas, it may well be time to look for a new washing machine.

If you open the door. Get hold of the top edge of the drum. If you lift it and lower it gently can you feel a slight knock. If you can it is your drum bearings on their way out.
I've got a feeling that the bearings are moulded into the drum. If that is the case, then you would have to replace the drum.
This happened to me last year. I removed the module, the motor the pump and the glass door and listed them on ebay.
The £100 i got went towards the new machine !
