    I suppose you’d need to find some kind of event already going on? :con:

    Any plans to take it on tour?

    Manchester maybe? 🙂

    Re: Name this mystery object.

    It looks like a very large rubber foot for a domestic appliance. Though I’m sure that someone will find a way to relate it to a penguin/goat 😕 Maybe some kind of hat?

    Re: Hoover V2000 replacement motor

    I’d agree with Dave that you’ve got the wrong motor 😕

    Couldn’t you just take the rubber mount off the old motor, and push it onto the new motor?

    Re: Profit & Loss

    They must be desperate, they’ve just offered Goatboy a (one) job.

    I might have to actually read all these threads about them now!

    They started off offering me £30 inc VAT, but I managed to talk them into £50 exe VAT 😀

    What could go wrong!?!?! 😈

    Re: Compensation Issue

    I could be blunt and crude about what the customer needs

    But I think Martin has it spot on! :tup:

    Wasn’t this when the average wage was £10 a week?

    £50, my guess.

    Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?

    I just had a charming customer on the phone 🙁

    She ask if I covered her area (Bacup), I said no, she told me to f*** off then, and hung up on me 🙁

    It’s a good job that she withheld her phone number! 👿 It’s not like I don’t deserve it, but it made me wonder if she talks like that to every workman she tries to hire? Stupid mare!

    Do you cover that area, Iadom? Look out for her, Bosch, won’t empty, in Wier.

    Probably 😕 Say 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} probably.

    This really is an impossible question to answer, as different companies, had vastly different rates!

    If it is the sensor that is faulty, the price for that is negligable, it’s more a problem of who has it in stock 😉

    Re: Adding brush control to a DC07 – possible?

    They’re full of tiny little torx screw. But somebody at Dyson, realised that everyone has adaptors for torx screws. So now on the DC07, these screws are at the bottom of narrow deep shafts, so you can’t get your adaptor in there 🙁 and you’ll need to buy the correct screw-driver!

    Saying that, there’s only one of these unacessible screws on the clutched head. Taking your old un-clutched one off should be easy 😀

    Good luck, and let us know how you get on :tup:

    Re: Candy CDC266 Reverse Action Dryer – squeaking noise

    It sounds like it might of worn through the unsubstanial bearing already, and that noise could be the shaft grinding through the metal backplate 🙁

    Is it that noisey? Metal on metal noise?

    IMHO of if you should fix it… I hate those dryers 👿

    Not a DC04 to a DC07.

    But (in theory) you could get a DC07 head, with clutch, and fit it. Though it would be an awkward job.
