I don't know about smooth and quiet, if I'm sat next to a vag car from the last few years, even 15 plates they drown out my agricultural rattling...

Very nice! It will pick up better than a 24 as a 24 only has a 650w motor, and there's not much weight over the front end so the brush roll cant dig as deep. I'd wash the filter more regularly than every 3 years though...

My snotter is a 1994 ZX with the 1.9 xud engine. faultlessley reliable, very economical and it om nom noms veg oil at £0.70 a litre!

The talking sensotronic is my favourite! Closely followed by the 3 part epic Aquamaster. I'd have found it hard to break it's virginity but you did it well! Is it sad to say I wait until swmbo and Eva are in bed, fire up the chrome cast and queue a few of your views up every now and again?

Wow that's lovely! They do look nice when their not faded! Must get a nice standard this year for a project. But then I'd need a standard, absolute+ and the ranaulf feinnes (sp) one too for the complete set!

I had a Turboforce once, found it on the side of the road! It was very beaten up, and clogged, but after a full refurb, new brushroll and new filters it was brilliant tbh! Pro's - Suction was very powerful (on brand new filters) Cord is very long Hose is very long (The pattern brushroll I...

I've had 3 or 4 'scrap' Miele S5 vacuums and every one has been used with a bojack bag, or no bag at all! All have needed the motor stripping, fan washing, then a full overhaul and their back to normal again! I try to use genuine bags in everything, although if I have a pack of non genuine bags...

She's all done, and sold already to another collector which is fantastic news! I do like 500s, but haven't got the room to start collecting them now! Happy to have them pass through my hands and wave some magic over them though...

There you go Emma, motor found! Keep your broken one for spares... (coil, casing, carbon holders, fan, washers screws and wiring)

Bloody hell that looks like it's just out of the box! Nice find!

Damn shame that armature's so far gone, would be an easy fix otherwise! I agree, keep the chassis, motors do crop up, usually with a broken machine clinging around it!

It's been a good day, I snagged myself a DC03 Clear! Full story through the link because the video is there and everything! Never actually seen a clear dyson in the flesh, it is a pretty, pretty thing! http://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php

I imagine a motor is easy to find, would probably come with a ruined/repainted/bojack bag machine wrapped around it for spares though!

Was 3 hours of slow polishing on low and high speeds with intense Polish and finishing polish! Then 3 coats of wax! Worth it though, stops the dust settling on the plastic now anyway

Whilst working on this earlier I realised I probably havent shown you all this! My stepbrother found it on the side of the road one morning and grabbed it for me! Was doing some fettling and giving it a good polish earlier and thought I would share! Still one or two bits I want to do to it yet...

Do you have any pictures of the test mules Gareth? I wish I was born 2p hears earlier so I could have been about during hoovers UK heyday. If I could go back in time I'd buy the lot and at least archive it all like Jensen have done in the UK!

PayPal? No idea how much it will cost tbh but it'll be a small jiffy bag, so hopefully not alot. Could get a quote!

Change th3 cord first. I've had a few miele cylinders that did this, the cord had broken where it enters the reel from repeated pulling. Was quite easy to change and sorted it right out

Lovely! You've given me motivation to get my 506 sorted!
