When a Dyson clutch is faulty, I prefer to change the unit. Its more time efficient. I also prefer to buy a new clutch over a used one. However, if a clutch looks otherwise OK, and the white nylon wheel isn’t all chewed up, and only the belt has snapped, I sometimes change the belts. Some of… Read More »
Dyson have launched the new DC50 ball. (What happened to the late forties machines we don’t know – maybe they are saving those model numbers for later). Confusing isn’t it? 40 or so models of Dyson vacuum cleaners. Why re-invent the wheel so fast? Or is re-invent the ball……… Anyway, the new DC50 appears to be part of the DC40/DC41 family, in that… Read More »
Looking for a Dyson DC02 YDK YV-500 motor? You may just get lucky if you are fast enough. Some time ago, Dyson UK abandoned all parts manufacturing and service support for the DC01’s and DC02’s.

For some time, Dyson customers have been wondering why the mini turbine tool that Dyson sell costs an agonizingly expensive £45 to buy from them. It seems a little over-priced at £45 doesn’t it? “Forty five quid?” I hear you gasp in disbelief. For sure, Dyson have never been shy in selling an item at the very top end of what they… Read More »
Many Dyson compatible parts are made nowadays by a myriad of manufacturers that are of comparable quality, or even exceed the quality of the genuine Dyson parts. Back telescopic hoses are a good example of this. Back hoses are made for the DC01, DC04, DC07, DC14, DC15, DC24, DC25 and DC33 by other manufacturers.

We are looking here to access the area near the gimbal lock arm spring on the Dyson DC40, DC41, DC42 and DC43. To do this involves getting to the wheel/ball mechanism on the machine. In order to access this, you use a pair of long nose pliers to remove the glamour cap in the wheel, you insert the long nose… Read More »

What is the difference between the Dyson DC40 and the Dyson DC41? I was asked this question the other day, and although regarded by some as a bit of a Dyson guru, I didn’t have the foggiest idea. I knew they were both recently released “Ball” machines, but as to the difference between them? No idea at all. So today, whilst in a… Read More »
