That is beautiful! Jesus man build a steel box for it now! Any tips for when I do mine? Gonna give up even trying to find a clear wand for now, its one of those parts that will just happen rather than be searched out

Dude, stop being freaky! You'll scare the only female collecter there probably is in the UK, your chat up lines must be shite... Back on topic, for me it's trackmarks! Dunno why, but nice trackmarks. Also, its getting a £1 nice old vac, using it when it doesnt work very well as it's not seen...

It arrived today, I cant play with it until I get home from work, it's not perfect but... A dream machine has been aquired!

Happy Birthday Hoover (well, whats left of a once brilliant company!)

I found out after fully reassembling a u2332! I check now when putting the holders in!

The holders are slightly bent. Have thrm back out again and tweak as needed, slide the carbon in and out before refittimg, thrn just after you fit them to check.

Let me know and ill pop them in the post! Glad the vax is doing well! You shampooed with it yet?

Can help you there! Looks tidy, their great machines! Ive got spare brushroll bearings if needed too! http://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,1631.0.html

I bet thats hard. Ive ensured I never get that picky about the oldies, mainly because it would probably drive me insane! I just look out everywhere for nos parts and if I find something i need, it makes my day! Its bad enough trying to find stuff for 1980s and 1990s cleaners now, let...

I need an 825 bag as well, sent it to someone to repair it a d never heard from him again. Shame, although my 825 is very beaten up, the motor is the best thing about it! (anyone want a fully restored works very well 825 motor?)

Excellent, it will see the bag o' filth! Hope the supressor holds out on you! It will be interesting to hear a brand new one, the only juniors ive really heard have been at the end of their battered lives. I hope the bearings havent dried out

Aah interesting, thanks! She looks a bit better now too! http://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,1860.0.html

Still a bit eye watering, but a relative bargain compared to what it 'went' for the first time. Bloody children, find somethign else to do in the school holidays rather than play with grown up things ie ebay...

I really like them, their great. Would never pass one up at the carboot, ever. Easy to shift on too when bored! I got given the one in the link, and sold it for £35, which isnt too horrific for a 20 year old cleaner! Still got 2, pre refurb too. Gawd knows where they are. 1 is boxedz...

It is annoying that anything that kills a Dyson could be put down to 'misuse' tbh, as that falls outside the normal scope. I'm waiting to start seeing the cinetic filterless machines come in blocked to buggary, but I imagine it would have been used for plasterdust or something so the arguments...

Mvacs very kindly sold me this after obtaining it through means unknown s! The switch is broken, but she puurs like new with the switch removed and a bridge wire put in place! Will give it the works in time, however what does the red lettering mean? My other 229, and most others I see have...

They dont seem to test users refitting the wand at an angle then forcing it in when it doesnt go, or the recline mechanism jamming because the pedals been pushed at an angle, and the user ramming the machine about to release it, or the brushroll motor filling up with fluff until it blows, or the...

Red pedal as parwaz said. Itll do this for a bit then snap.

Nice outcome, glad you got it fixed! Its the first check i do on a 'just died on me mate' cheap henry nowadays. Never been wrong yet, but if they properly blow they smell like fire so its slightly blatent

Yes, panasonic! Forgot that, have ydk on my head as im restoring a dc01 at the moment! I dont see many about either tbh, although ive rebuilt one thats used in a dentist surgery and my aunt kurb-found me a dc22 with no tools in proper shop vac condition
