dyson being temperamental

I have a purple dyson. It's a few years old and all of a sudden only the hand held thingy sucks and the normal bottom bit doesn't. Any ideas on how I can fix it?

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.
