Just got this off ebay, I've bought from that seller before, but...
Turns up- NO BLOODY FILTERS IN THE THING!!!
So I put some filters in it, fired it up... And..,
Motor was making a popping sound with an acrid burning stench that filled my room!!!
AAAAR!!!

before you leave negative feedback, you should try to resolve the issue with the seller via person message

Hmmm, I wonder if I could just modify another dyson motor to fit?

contact the seller

Yes, because so far you haven't mentioned how the item was described. Or what it cost you.

The item was described
"Complete, All works fine etc..., item is used so will need a clean"
And it was only £13 so I don't know what I'm worrying about!
Anyway my dad bought it for me. I ws surprised to see a box when I came home and my dad told me to open it, and there it was!
Anyway my dad just said that it doesn't matter and he doesn't really care that his £20 was not spent wisely... He just said 'its second hand, and from eBay, what do you expect???'
So I'm just going to buy a new motor!
George

The red color is GORGEOUS. A new motor shouldn't cost too much, especially if you have a friend with a vac shop who might get it for you at wholesale. I love my DC05 MotorHead - and my DC05 Absolute - but to have one in that beautiful shade of red would be excellent. Congrats on a very nice machine that so easily can be restored. The motor is the heart of the machine. So a new motor means it will be virtually a new machine.

Well I've managed to get hold of a new motor off EBay, I'll let you know when it's arrived and installed:)

Well I received the new motor today, installed it and yeah it works great! It's a bit noisy though, maybe it's just because the carbons need to kinda'settle-in'!!
It didn't have the original hose so I used a DC02 hose and had to tape it on to the front. I used red tape to match the original colour:
