First issue, the hosewas split.

However, unlike its more modular predecessor, the whole thing doesnt strip down nicely and re-thread on, its all one moulded thing. So the hose is glued into the machine end, with some tape around it slightly for added measure. Anyone know if you can get the machine ends for these still?
Anyway, it was very dusty so I got to work

This is a shame. The whole thing is sealed and currently stuck fast with fluff. Hoping getting it wet and putting another vac to the tiny hole gets it out

My 1997 french car uses the same connectors on the dashboard as this 1997 french Hoover! These have fared better...

I couldnt get the rear wheels off though, looked like it would break if I kept trying so left them be
So all unpicked, and waiting to be washed.

Screw card has never been so empty! All just clips together!
The palstic extension poles were both cracked at the top too. One is glued up, I'l clean that off and work out the best finish to hide the glue mark, and do the other pipe. Floor tool is almost mint! Haven't actually touched that yet. Will give it a tickle later, but it doesnt need to be washed at all.
