    613???? Mike, You mentioned in your post 28321 that we had the blue model 613, did you mean the 638? or is there a rare beast I should be looking for? Happy hoovering. Clark. P.S. (Rather green with envy over your U1104 in black, EB exclusive!). LOL

    Memories of a Hoover...

    Junior Identity. Hi. The junior you are speaking of sounds very much like a model 14. This had the bag on the side, and the red on off switch on the rear. The UK equivalent was the 1224. I am sure that someone out in vacuumland has a decent picture of the model 14. Hope this helps. Clark...

    Poorly Turbopower U1222 :( :(

    Probable cause! :D:D:D Hi all, I had a U1060 late Turbopower with just this issue. It turned out that something had wedged the fan, namely a penny, and so being made of plastic, the motor kept on spinning and literally drilled itself free. Fans are readily available, for about £4 and it took...

    How to clean the paint scuffs?

    T-CUT Auto Polish. Guy's. Quite simply the best product I have found is CARPLAN T-CUT Auto polish. This is a micro abrasive liquid which can be used on most surfaces without causing damage. The one thing you have to be very careful of however is that you mask off any printed logos as this will...
