Hi! Some might know I have a Dyson DA001....Ive had it a while but never worked on it as such till the other day. I totaly stripped it down and washed it all out, the motor housing was black and now theres a huge black carbon dust stain on my bedroom carpet...oh well! There are a few pics from the stripdown/rebuild which are attached below. All works well and looks new now polished, suction is better than ever! Taking it apart and rebuilding it was somewhat eaiser than I expected, I'd never attempted anything like this before! Upon testing it I was very nervous, but it all worked so I was happy :) Good job all round, got to do a Lux at some point!

3 : Outside now, the main body and motor housing for pre-washing outside on the patio
4 : Partially rebuilt and polished
5 : Cyclone rebuilt and polished
6 : The final result!

Nice job! Are the tools original? They don't look Dyson to me, although I do recall reading early ones used generic tools.
