- This belongs to a lady who lives on a farm, and it needs perking up a bit. Not a full refurb, but what could I do for £35? Well, let's try and turn some profit by getting this old girl working well the cheap way, with a bit of graft and the minimum of new parts!
Fancy donating to the channel? I’m always in need of parts for projects, so have a look at my Amazon wishlist, and let me know who you are in the note so I can read it out on camera! - www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/...

All I could think of was the poor washing on that line! 😮😂
Love your videos ❤ - Been really busy but always enjoying sitting down after a long day to watch them 😊
The problem is these use a plastic that overtime reacts with UV and becomes EXTREMELY brittle. This is literally just pop it in your collection and leave it on your shelf type of Dyson. Not daily use.
With that sticker arrangement on the bin it’s a late malmesbury machine produced between 2000-02. The ones that have no sticker at all on the bin and a black helpline sticker similar to the 07s and 14s are Malaysia ones.
Not to forget that the Malaysian ones have the design award on the bin.
@@jayambermsp8000 good point I’d completely forgotten that one
now that’s funny… my DC04 Zorbster has that sticker on the cyclone, the helpline number and the design awards 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@bobsurrey6686 Later models also had the better wand.

I’ve picked up a DC04 too at the car booty for £8. For the blower, I use a sidewinder mattress air pump.
Good video!👍
Oooh nice! Was it any good for a car boot find?
@@beko1987 Yes. It’s pretty good. Just needed a really, really good clean.
I'd have gone for brush bearings at the same time and really pushed the boat out! (627rs size) They eventually dry out and stiffen a little which ends up causing early belt stretching and eventual screeching and smells of burning rubber. a cheap set is around 4 quid and would easily last about 5 yrs. I really miss my original first gen dc01 but when we got a 4 for free we thought it would be easier to get spares for longer
Do like a good dc04
And that's a good one now you've done it Sam!love to see the little feathered fella too!
It can fit clutched hoses, the only thing is then the unclutched wand won't click on at the end for above the floor cleaning :)
Very useful video, thanks. I'm struggling to get the green 'cone' out of the dust collection cylinder. I don't want to force it, yours popped out real easy?
Cool video! How do you get people looking for vacuum services do you advertise yourself in any way or they just come to you? Thanks
I thought the wheels needed some wd40 😂 it was your pet bird 😂
He needs some oil 😂
@@beko1987 squeaky beak 😂
Omg poor internal hose. I wonder how it got in such horrible condition
What you using to blow out the dust ?
My home made blower! It's a 1950s paint sprayer with a 1400w Dyson motor fitted, which is why it makes such a racket as the airflow pushes past the original seals 😂
@@beko1987 wow ! 👌 nice. I want one
That's not a DC04i. DC04i was blue and silver. These were called simply Silver and Lime and was the base model. Although the DC04i was pretty much the same machine but with a hepa filter. Nice video and job though mate.
If I'm not wrong, I did see a DC04 ConstantMax which was a silver and lime.
It had the DC04i ConstantMax on the motor housing.
@@jayambermsp8000 Yes they did 2, the red/iron and silver/lime both the same machine just different colours
I hear Dyson are not allowing repairs from 3rd party engineers… will this affect you ? Parts etc?
Probably not as I buy either 3rd party copy parts or used parts. Plus parts for most of the era of Dysons I work on have been obselte for years anyway and parts are still plentiful. What's going to suck is them covering everything in epoxy and other tricks. Not had a V15 in yet but I'm not excited about it 😢
Ooh!
