Noisy Gtech Vacumn

We have had a Gtech cleaner since they first came out with no trouble at all, still on original battery. I was using it on the stairs the other day and didn't notice a small clear plastic toy on the stairs, the rollers on cleaner picked it up and it jammed immediately. I removed the toy, but now the hoover gives a tapping / knocking sound when in use.It still seems to work ok, but i would like to get this sorted. I part stripped the cleaner down, removing the rollers, i tried switching it on with the rollers removed, and the noise is still there. Looking online a fair few seem to have had problems with the drive shaft, mostly the plastic cogs stripping, which stop it working. I am not sure if this is the problem, as it all seems to be working fine. Gtech surprisingly dont sell this part, but i can get one from Amazon for about £20. It looks a real fiddle to replace it, before i decide to try and do it has anyone else got any suggestions on anything else which may be causing this noise.
Thanks
