Old Dyson - just doesn't do the job all that well anymore.

It is possible to do these checks if you're female - no need to wait for a "hubby" to do them!

Nitpicking and very unhelpful

Another vote for cleaning out the 'cyclones'. I had exactly this problem and after a Google search found instructions for getting access to the cyclones and gave them a really good clean - even pushing wire through each hole to make sure it was clean.

The difference was incredible - we had no idea how much suction had been lost over the years.

Has anyone used the repair service, mine isn't working as well as it used to and the extention hose hase been patched up, does anyone know the contact number or email address for the repair service?

Got to say we've had a dyson for about 8 years and its coped with cleaning up aftr a year of building work. Its finally just about packed in and OH has just bought a Henry for £97 from John Lewis which comes with a 2 year guarantee instead of paying for Dyson to look at it. I'll be trying to ressurect the Dyson when I get a chance but its lasted well considering.

Or they also have a forum you can ask about it here: http://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/

Still have my Dyson DC01 going strong after 15 years or so. I clean the filters regularly - but that's about it.

Same here, as said earlier, replacing the filters sees the unit good once more.
I use an electrolux to vac the car though :cool:
