[@ChampagneRain]

You show each step by step that lets me "a woman" actually service my vacuum - Thank you!!

[@annieL2433]

Absolutely brilliant! I’m a 72 yr old widow - managed to do the job myself following your video. Thank you so much 😊

[@Chapucero_Helecho]

Ok

[@Cybertruck1000]

Not sure if you're still about pal but your video helped me fix my DC04. No way could have done it otherwise. cheers!

[@yvesrodriguez8786]

Merci pour toutes ces vidéos très bien faites et précises dans le détail. Bravo Alec. Yves de France

Such a great instructional video. I've successfully replaced filters, and motor neither of which I could have done without your guidance. Had a bit of trouble with the retract, but again it was like you were doing it with me! Thanks man

[@timwagstaff5179]

Brilliant video, even I could follow instructions and got my problem sorted.

[@NickMeers]

great stuff, great attitude - I almost want to move to Oz just so I can be one of your customers. Thanks for the info and easy manner, great stuff

[@JonnieMess]

Great instructional video... covered it all very well 👍

[@colbr6733]

[@raymatsell]

Excellent- saved me ££££s. Thank you very much.

[@PieroAnnoni]

[@mattd5799]

Thanks for the great Vid and instruction.

[@lesnovo4461]

Hello and thank you, your videos save me on expensive repair costs. I would like to ask you one more thing. My Dyson DC08 does not roll in all the cable. A piece remains outside. The spring of the rewinder must be "charged" ?

[@cb8548]

Thanks mate ! Dam good instructions going to give this a go

[@VacuumSmart]

No Worries Tim, Glad you like them.

[@malcleugh9927]

Thanks very much for the great video. Cheers

[@kerryhall3455]

Very very helpful. Thank you

[@KingsCrossVIP]

what are these screwdrivers you are using are these special for dyson?

[@RailsandSky]

Alec. The mains cable retract strength on my DC8 is very weak. Can you show how to adjust it so as the mains cable retracts easily instead of having to help it retract by pushing the cable in to the body. Thank you.

[@roderickmclean9927]

Alec I have tried in vain to find a replacement hose assembly for my DC08. Can you help me please?

[@srazaq1978]

many thanks for the video. do you know where i could buy the cable and reel for the dc08 animal from. ive been looking everywhere.

[@chessdude67]

Very cool! Thanks for the excellent video! Tim :)

[@MrBenikah]

great enstraction it very clear explenetion

[@beefcakeandgravy]

Is it possible to repair the retract unit? I have a DC08 and the spring is weak and only sucks the cable in halfway.

[@paulllewellyn5184]

Hello I'm wondering if you would help me I've got a DC 14 it's running ridiculously fast I've changed the motor because I thought that was the problem no joy. Thanks

[@kynahhenry6651]

hi, we have a dyson dc19. there is a broken neutral in the cable, in the cable rewind. do you know how to disassemble the cable rewind so i can shorten the lead?

[@reallywontsufferfools1620]

have dco8 cord brke very close to retract ,any way of opening retract to shorten cord. thks for any reply

[@fratae244]

also my thx 4 the exellent vid-tutorial.Have you also a solution to open the "cable rewind cassette"? The power cable is damaged inside and i would shorten him instead of replacing it ,but i don't see a way to open it. thx in advance (sorry for my english..not 100%)

[@louisebonney4443]

My cable is jammed into the Hoover and won’t budge. How do I extract it?

[@louisebonney4443]

It was the old remedy, brute force and b….. ignorance that cured it.

[@VacuumSmart]

Hi There, Unfortunately the cable rewind assembly is not meant to be opened. You can on some Miele's and Electrolux's but the dyson one needs to be replaced you can't put a new cord on it. Sorry

[@ellisfletcher3491]

wonder what happened to this fella its been 9 years

[@gorengyan]

Do you still have that cord? I need one.😂

[@ebgolem]

thanks Alec! It's the same for DC19. You could change the title.

[@VacuumSmart]

Yea i could have however i would have needed to get a new rod and floorhead. That machine sat on top of a shelf for a year and we are moving so unfortunately video then bin :(

[@gonzalodiazdelriofery7908]

Muchas gracias

[@ej1937]

Great video Alex! Very easy to follow. Clear audio. Lighting and focus could be improved on close-ups. Just nitpicking.

[@kynahhenry6651]

hi again, no worries, i have fixed it now

[@VacuumSmart]

I seem to be upsetting a few people with this one :( Sorry guys my workshop is just soooooo full of old stuff.

[@vacuumboy6.0]

[@VacuumspotAu]

[@vacuumboy6.0]
