Following up my comment from yesterday, I took the machine apart and discovered that the black rubber cover on the valve that releases the cold water had perished and cracked, and wasn't opening properly.
I tested the hot and cold solenoids and everything checked out ok. Was just the cold valve sticking.
The wash cycle was working because I was using hot/warm water. As the rinse cycle needs cold water to get started, it was not working and the rinse and spin cycles wouldn't complete.
I have swapped the valves over for now (put the working hot one on the cold side and am using cold water only). It's working while I order a replacement...

Here's a solution I've gotten from one of the experts..
"Clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are
caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water
in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is normally behind the front
lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward
position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the
drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a
needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger-
the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes
or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on.
You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly
straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!"
Hope this helps.. Good luck! :)
