Hi, our caple washing Machine is about 4 years old and is making a very bad squeaking / banging noise on spin. It has been looked at by an engineer 3 times who could not see any problems ! Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Sounds like this a bearing problem & it will invariably lead to total bearing failure sooner rather than later. Check for slack on the drum by lifting it up & down...then spin it by hand & listen for a grinding type sound to confirm.
It may be uneconomical to repair + it isn't a job for the faint hearted.
