your Kirby looks in excellent condition have you owned this from new ?

Ok thanks for the info guys, if I can get hold of a metal fan ill try one and see what there like.

Sorry to hear about your Grandma. I can totally relate to your story from when I was a child. My Grandparents had a Heritage and every Friday night I used to stay over then spend Saturday morning hoovering through the house for them and even the car if weather permitted, when I wasn't doing this...

looks nice David are the Sanitronic nozzles hard to come by for the Heritage ? after one myself lol

I've seen several people mentioning metal fans on here is there a difference in performance from the other types? and also any disadvantages to running a metal fan in a Kirby. Can these be purchased anywhere E bay etc? Thanks Craig.

Hello Zach, it's certainly worth looking at, with mine the foot drive switches were slightly bending downwards at the back with having no screw in and I don't think it was selecting neutral properly more like in between neutral and drive, I presume this was why it was clicking when I pushed it...

Hi Steve you say the lexan fan only lasts about 5 years, but would this be based on using the machine say once a day over that period? because is what I found strange this Kirby has not done a lot of work in it's lifetime, the original owner who I know very well only used it a handful of times...

Hello, I had the same problem with my G4 and it turned out that a screw had come out at the back of the drive box (just above where you select neutral or drive) added a new screw and this solved the problem.

Hoovering yesterday everything going fine until I heard a horrible noise coming from the Kirby. I removed the front nozzle to discover the fan had cracked a quarter of the way around.It's a bit strange as to why it cracked, nothing unusual was sucked up- just one of them thing's. I spent a...

Tradition bag set up David do you run the Tradition with the mini-emptor or it's original sani-emptor?

That looks a really nice machine David well done on your find I hope to have one myself some day lol

lol I think there is a Kirby collector in wolstanton that also does repairs could be them possibly? I've heard of shavington not too far then from where my auntie lives lets hope the people in Blackburn are looking after it lol. Thanks it's not as many as I have seen on here but I'm pleased with...

Thanks Robert. lol I am not sure about being that mysterious Kirby collector :) the site is very good and the people seem nice and informative I look forward to staying around. I'm at the other end of the D road Clayton to be exact I have a auntie in Crewe so I might just take you up on that...

Hi James Thanks if I'm over that way I will pop in, as for the attachments I only have two complete sets. A full set for the Heritage and a full set for the G4 I have hoses for the G3 and Heritage 2 with some attachments as well, I'm looking out for a complete Tradition set as I have nothing for...

Hello, Out of my collection the most expensive model was my G3 Kirby which cost me £155 + £30 shipping of eBay, thankfully it was in good condition all that needed was the bearings on the handle/pivot assembly freeing up. the cheapest Kirby I got was for £25 + £10 shipping this was a Legend 2...

Hello David, yes I thought of that problem afterwards especially as I have no hose to fit the Tradition and I discovered the problem when I went to try the Heritage hose on it, that's something else on my shopping list a Tradition hose. I don't think I would have altered the tradition one anyway...

All this was done when I purchased the Tradition Dave I Haven't had to alter anything with the Tradition, when I purchased the Tradition it had not long been service'd it looks like it has a larger tube between the fitting and the sani-emptor connected either end by 4x cable ties, and yes it has...

Thanks Dave, it's a good job then she hasn't counted them lol. My Fiancée doesn't mind me collecting them she says I can have as many as I like but I think its not going to be a massive collection compared to some I have seen on here probably 20 at the most when I've done. To answer your...

well with my family its mainly Kirby's my mother uses my G3 when I hoover I alternate between my tradition heritage and legend 2, My Fiancée has a Kirby heritage 2 which I gave her before that she used some cheap cylinder hoover that is useless. My brother has a heritage 2 with a orange heritage...
