Model number from Richard, as he seemed clued up on it. I have no idea tbh!
Thanks to the bad influence of the facebook group, I did this...

TBH it had a ridiculous BIN, and I fancied a project so grabbed it.
It arrived today!

The technical term for this is broken. All bent

All in all, a poor neglected vacuum. It was also damp, so I started the stripdown..

Bit of a flick with the flathead screwdriver later and

The hinges come off the pivot, one side is keyed, but if you dont realise this and just pull you dont notice the little palstic peg snap...(doesnt affect it, it's still held in by the chassis meeting)
Also see the moisture

I can see this stupid bent bit of plastic being a pain to refit! Hopefully it will flatten with hot water

I then realised I hadnt turned it on yet, so I had a quick peek into the motor chamber to check it was dry, plugged it into an RCD and pressed go...
Ah good. Hoping the speed controller needs cleaning, it doesnt change speeds until the middle

There's another stamp on the motor housing saying 09/01, 2001 or 2002 model?

The cord rewind seems a little feeble towards the end. Is there anything I can do bar a good shove of WD40 at the spring mechanism?

I had a look at the extending pole, and the bashed up end was sorted by repeatedly ramming an old Henry metal pole up it. However the telescopic mechanism doesnt work well. Was jammed at first, popped the cap off, and loosened the mechanism with a screwdriver and blasted it clean with brake cleaner. It now moves, but will only latch one way. Put any pressure on it as per normal use and it moved to closed. Not sure of a way round it other than a bojack 35mm extending pole from ebay...
And I had a look at this, since it's easily the worse floor tool I've ever seen on anything!

All soaking wet and full of dog. Binned the lot!
From Miele S300i
All the screws seem to be philips too, a change from the torx heaven that my S5 was!
All awaiting washing, and for me to get some money to buy:
Floor tool
Telescopic pole
Dusting Brush
Carbon filter
Service Box
Will unlease some ebay-fu over the weekend!
Hope you enjoyed. Tempted to email the seller asking why they failed to say it had been left out in the rain, or the damage but for £9 it would be a bit silly of me!
