[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 663669, member: 1414"] Someone used our Dyson to suck up water on the floor, WRONG. Vacuum roller decided not to operate. Thought this would be a handy project to have a look at internal workings and maybe (not at all confident) get it working again if dried out. Dyson use the "star" headed screws holding workings together, not a common tool in everyone's shed. Under the seat of the ute there are are allsorts for those "maybe" jobs while away prospecting. In a kit I've carried for decades was the tool I needed, the smallest of the star drives. Dyson stripped, (sneaky buggers hid one of the screws under the info sticker) dried and after much head scratching and frustration (Design engineer is also a torture specialist) I got it back together. Much to my surprise, plugged it is raring to go again. Many $$'s saved. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Toolkit.jpg"]8016[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Toolkit2.jpg"]8018[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
