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

That's a good point actually, what cycle do we use? We wash 80% of stuff on a fastwash 60 degree, I put towels, bedsheets and vacuum bits through a 2.5 hour 80 degree long wash. I think we have an anti stain cycle, never used it though!

The UK DC22 doesnt have a digital motor, we get a YDK brushed motor, same one in a dc25 upright!

You want both white motor cables to one side of the main on off switch, then the blue and brown wires from the cord unit to the other side. You may have to have henry apart to the motor to check which cables are which then either strip out the pcb and wires, leave the switch in to stop stuff...

I have a horrible modern hotpoint, happy to help!

The caps do lever off, but make one hell of a noise doing so! I stripped one down a while ago, link below. Got one now thats missing all its tools, but was free. That's been refurbished too but just sat under the bed! http://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php?topic=1624.0

Nice find! Their getting rare to be boxed over here, let alone over there! The power head is crap, dont get your hopes up there! Looks very clean though. Our serial numbers were different to yours though I refurbed one a few weeks back if it helps. If its got a supressor fitted, their...

Got a picture of the filter? Would it go through the washing machine?

Ah, you put the white clips into the chassis by their pegs, then (tricky this bit) bend the white rings out, slot the back of the machine into them and push both rings onto the round locating bits in the main body and down into the chassis.

Its not a bad job tbh. I need to do the same with my vortex as the chassis broke again. Its probably very similar to my vortex, thread linked incase it helps! Ive got a chassis from a dust managerless cyclone to go on it, only difference that i can see is that its black not blue.

Blimey now theres a dream room to aim for! Top work (even though its an old thread!) ive never seen it before though...

Ha, small world! Glad it helped, I use it at least once per rebuild still, not so bad now im getting number 23 to refurb tomorrow since thst thread was made!

Oooh nice! Not even a moulding mark for the bag indicator! Looks in good condition too!

I always pick up packs of genuine belts for anything I own from ebay if I happen upon them at a cheap price. Got a genuine pack of bags for my Sensotronic from the car boot the other weekend for £2, handy as I didnt have any, and the bag inside is manky. I did ask if they had any other bits...

The first turbopower junior werent they? Mine had a slightly cracked trunnion (still does but its heavily reinforced internally now). Dont see many about, most ive seen for sale is this year I think. They do come up nicely though...

Very nice. They are rare over here, let alone over there! Youll find the old brushroll motor packed with fluff, and possibly the ends of the brushroll damaged. Id be surprised if your new head isnt clogged up if its second hand either. I did a how to on one if it helps...

I try to only use Genuine Hoover belts, but am running low now, down to the last few packs of unopened belts for various machines that I want to keep in the packet. I know Quatex had a bad batch of belts a few years ago. I ordered a few, and 4 out of the 10 sets snapped fairly quickly...

If it shouldnt move but is meant to - wd40. If it moves and it shouldnt - duct tape... Im always weary of duct tape on vacs. If i want it i beat the price down, one never knows what its hiding...

I second the manchester vacs recommendation. Mainly because the cost is the easy part. You then need to package it up properly to ensure its not broken, and that means bespoke packaging. Plus a bulk shipping account, and experience of shipping abroad, which mvacs has in spades! Good...
