. . . if you know what I mean. I'll explain. The Dyson works perfectly well when used with the hose and tools, but doesn't suck - in fact it seems to blow a little - when used as an upright.
Anyone got any ideas what that might be down to?
Are these things easy enough to take apart, get bits for etc?
TIA

The channel from the beater area through to the back is probably blocked. It's quite easy to remove the beater (you have to do this to change the belt) and fish it out.
My local Currys has a vast display of Dyson spares. But only belts and bags for other makes. Told be something I already knew.
Thats my guess too.
Do you have her phone number? ;-)
My dc04 (zorbster) has a removable piece at the bottom of the up pipe. You can see into the flexible hose ( the one going to the brush end) from there and remove any blockage. You may have to poke through from the brush end. Remember to fold the handle down or you will only see the tube to the handle.

There was an article in the British Medical Journal about this in the early
80's.
