No it won't I'm afraid, however if the carbon brushes are what is at fault on the DC05's motor then you can buy them cheaply since there are many on sale.
If it is the motor as a whole you can still buy replacement motors too. That is the one advantage of Dysons being rubbish - spares are everywhere! Ha ha... But, I don't bash so that is only MY opinion. |

That's good news, I was going to say it could be a break in the cord.
I presume it was free ? If so, a Fiver or so for a new filter set and a fix to the extension tube will make for a very cheap Dyson. I got my 2001 DC04 for free and it didn't need ANYTHING replaced, even the belt was still fine despite being the original. All I bought for it was a new set of Generic tools for £5 and she's now fully functional. I suppose I could do with replacing the hose but the gaffer tape is good enough for me, it isn't like I care about the machine or anything so I'm not bothering about it being in new condition as I do with my others. |

Indeed, out of all Dysons the DC04 is the one that I actually don't mind so you can imagine how lucky I felt to get just that when I saw an advert on Gumtree for "lots of things free". Of course I can't help but snigger when I read that sticker on the front, how erroneous!
In case you didn't see my previous thread about it (I don't think you were a member at the time) here it is before and after the clean up - a big difference, no ? P.S. Yes I'm trying to get you to post some pictures of that DC02! |

It took it surprisingly well! Some pictures of the new beast. Well, beast is the wrong word. The P60 has stronger suction than this does! |

The broken poles. No chance of me fixing these I don't think! Managed to wedge them open with brute force, the DC02 will be donating it's poles to this one unless anyone has any hints? |

Just out of interest what are the filters like on that DC07 ?
I know my DC04's filters (all three) were FILTHY when I got to cleaning them. The pre-motor ones were caked in compost (don't ask) and the exhaust filter was BLACK. It still is actually - the exhaust filter - since I'm too cheap to replace it! |

Oh I see, maybe I don't have enough experience with children to know that. When I think about it, yes, it would seem plausible.
Though, it could also be an accident whilst vacuuming down the side of the chair. That happens to me all the time, luckily never with a dirty fan! I believe the icon I should add after that is :O |

Its a de-rooted one so no clogs here - it has larger holes at the tops of the cyclones. Also has the re-inforced handle - these are quite rare on the DC07 |

You need to take the 2 screws out from under the filter, and pull the cyclone assembly out - you would be amazed how dirty it will be under there! |

However - I still think the DC07 is the best looking upright Dyson has made to date, and the tallest! |

I need a good torx set. I borrow my stepdads set, but like to have my own tools. I have a T15 driver, if I need a T20 I need to break out my clunky ratchet set. |

That picture of the DC07 upper cyclones is why I've always preferred the Dual Cyclonic technology of the earlier Dysons and Fantoms. |

Not surprising we used to call the Allegro the "All Aggro" and the Americans call the Dyson the "Die soon" lol |

"Not surprising we used to call the Allegro the "All Aggro" and the Americans call the Dyson the "Die soon" lol" Well my mother had an Allegro in the early 90s and I'm informed it was like a "tomb". It actually rolled over once while not going all that fast around a corner.
And I thought I was the only one who said Die-Soon... |
