Ok, I'm not trying nor wanting to start an argument, but are you trying to push my buttons over the subject as mentioned in a previous thread? |

So after removing the handle,bag and fill tube I noticed that the fill tube was clogged. After removing the blockage I was left with this. How on earth that got past the fan I shall never know! |

After removing the bellows and inspecting them I noticed a tear. No worries as I have a spare. I'm not sure how well it shows in the picture. Sheesh my fingers look so messed up in this picture 😄 |

Motor and wheels all reattached. Plus the choc block glued in place to stop it from rattling around and being annoying ( just like me ;P ) |

After reassembly it's into the shed for a nice polish and waxing. My my, that sounds a touch kinky, eh? |

The bag washed up quite nice to say it was done by hand. I will most likely bung iy in the washer one day to freshen it up some more. |
