It worked really well



I then took it downstairs, and used it some more. It then snapped one of its rear wheels out of the housing whilst I was trying to recline it. Which is a shame as it worked really well. Will try and glue it back together at some point.
 
Wow! Awesome rebuyild, Just wondering, Whats your daily vacuum? Mines a DC14 red (Blitz it), if you were to sell that as refurbished you would get some good profit :D
 
Would never sell it, its not worth selling! Worth even less atm with 1 missing rear wheel! Was going to loan it out to people whos dysons I rebuild. Having second thoughts about that now! Shame as it worked really well!

My daily is my Miele S5, although I ran my new Junior 1334 round last night and it did an ok job! Used a DC14 All Floors to clean out the 1334 if that helps? Needs a clutch rebuild and selling though
 
Oh, OK Sam, I understand now, I think the DC14 is the most reliable Dyson, next to the DC04 and DC25, and as for loaning vacs, You could always get a Cheapo Dyson for a fiver at the carboots :)
Gaorge: Wow!
Joe: Oh dear :(
