So pleased, and to think I was going to sell it on ebay for spares.

It was simply a matter of blowing the rubbish out of the motor, superglueing this bit which had broken off and come loose..that was probably causing the noise and vibrations.

The burning smell has gone too, am celebrating with a big ol' cup of crazy, I mean joe.

I'm so glad you got your Stickvac up and running again, they are fun toys. What a way to celebrate the moments of your life!

Caffeine addiction, i'm more or less totally dependant. :P

The cleaner buzzes a little but I imagine that's it's natural noise, it's only a small motor afterall...we managed to fix the electronic power control too.

I had told you before, and you said the same thing ;p

But go me fixing the electronics eh? I reckon the cleaner must have been damaged in transit.

Perserverance pays off. You got it from France, or over near you?
