Re: Our Dyson's died!
 

My mother bought one of the upright dysons a few years ago, although it still works, I can't say I like it all that much
To noisy
And god, the noise it makes when the rollers/brushes get stuck! jeesh
Sounds like a machine gun going off

Sorted!!!
 

Back from hols and a bit more time to look at it.

Yes indeed - getting the wheels off is the key to everything. Unfortunately, they won't just pull off - you first need to prise out the little (lime green in our case) plugs in the middle. I used a sharp screwdriver and I've made a right mess of them. Probably better to drill a hole in the centre, fit a screw, and pull on that instead. Then the wheels just pull off. There's 5 Torx screws holding the two halves of the case together and then everything else just unclips.

The problem was a break in the live core of the flex. I bought some super floppy stuff to replace it and now we're back in action - whoopee!
