I remember these 2 machines fondly!
The green one ended up with a crack from top to bottom on the bag door!

The date of birth, location and collection are pretty much identical - it's only the name that's different

Turbopower 2
There was indeed a grey basic Turbopower 2 with Permabag as standard. I seem to remember it was a bit darker in colour than the standard "Autosense" model. Apparently purchased via a home-shopping catalogue.
It belonged to a work colleague, who then got laminated floors, and passed it on to me. I cleaned it up and passed it on to another colleague who's existing hoover packed in.
I had a Turbopower 2 Autosense, with piston bag-check indicator. The piston wasn't any real use, and dust eventually clogged the mechanism. My brother then had it for a while.
My mum still has the Turbopower 3 with Autosense (lagoon green metallic, no permabag). She used the tools a lot. The constant flexing of the bag door eventually weakened it. It split several inches above and below the decal that replaced the piston bag-check. Probably the problem was full power with scabbard crevice tool = stressed bag door. Fixed it with Sellotape!.
The activator/agitator is no longer available for this series of machine. Hoover-Candy told me that they tried to source an alternative, but no luck.
I'll bet that had it still been proper "Hoover Ltd", the part would probably still be obtainable.

Hi, re: the grey 'basic' turbopower with permabag, I can well believe the one our Co-Op had was originally the home-shopping exclusive model as the Co-Ops always seem to have the most random things on special. The store I saw them in only had them for a few weeks.
I was just about to say sorry for what I said and I'm glad you got it sorted hoovermanmick, but then I got this personal message on my YouTube account:
"it was a gen mistake the links i was postin i did not no u could post a message with out using your email so stop slag me off to your boyfriends you little grass"

Another small snippet of Turbo2, 1000 and 3 history, in the form of a seperately purchased Permabag box.
One or two of these were available on ebay last year, with an asking price of £45 a piece! Quite steep when you condsider the age of them and the cleaners, plus the fact that you could probably acquire 3 actual cleaners for the price of a permabag box!
