    Trying to get this part shipped to the uk

    Thank you guys, both very kind offers and great for you to go out of your way to help me like this :) Sam - I am just concerned how much shipping will be at the post office once you get the item, as my understanding is that the part is 16" long x 3" in diameter so it wont fit in a flat rate...

    A lovely Turbopower treat :)

    We had exactly the same vacuum when we was growing up at my parents house, it was the turbopower plus and same colour bought from Argos. 5 yr guarantee, whats the guarantee on hoovers today? It ended up not being able to stand up as the trunion had broken.

    Hi Sam That would be great if you could find out for me postage etc, but I dont know how much they would charge to post to you though? THey have also said that the complete bag assembly would be $49 so still debating whether to just get the fill tube bit? Thanks.

    Trying to get this part shipped to the uk

    Yeh the fill tube is $7.99, the bag I have currently is fine but he says the ST bags are bigger and fill differently so would struggle on getting the bag out possibly ripping the paper as I remove it when its full (I could remove it when its half full but this wastes bags I guess) The bag...

    Trying to get this part shipped to the uk

    Ive just spoke to Steve at Vacland.com and he was very helpful. He said he will contact the post office and find a cheaper price for me then I can purchase it. He has also mentioned that to use the ST bags I would be better off buying the new bag assembly as it just screws onto the bottom and...

    Trying to get this part shipped to the uk

    Hi there Thanks for the response, the part is $7.99 as stated on their site but postage is $35 to the uk, when you spoke to them do you think that they will reduce postage for me or just thought you were making an enquiry. What time is best to call considering it is 02:11am in the UK now. Thanks.

    Hoover Turbopower killed by.....

    OUt of all the turbopowers the strongest ones were the one with the cloth bag.. however they lacked tools. My parents had the grey turbpower plus you show in the picture it had two speeds.
