Don't look at it, sneak up on it, make any sudden movements or loud noises or it will fall to bits, snap and crack.
Good luck with it! It's quite a pain to work on vs the DC41 and DC50 IMHO

I gave up on my DC50, it was too far gone for a warranty blag to be believable, and I didn't fancy spending money replacing the rest of it to then have Dyson refuse to change the motor, so gave it to Tayyab, who said it worked perfectly after some use, stupid thing!This 40 is still under warranty, the caper is on! I won't touch it until it's fixed, but the process has started, Dyson have my (mums) details. Once the yolk bit is replaced I'll strip it down in the usual way!
Sam's old DC50 update: it worked nicely for a few days and I enjoyed using it more than my other DC50 cos my old one smelled of pets (refurb pending)Then Sam's dc50 motor blew sparks out the exhaust so I left it in the shed for spares so I will have a mint dc50
I have been informed that the Dyson man has been and fixed the stabilizer bar! Apparently he told my mum that although it's fixed, it will still move about as 'it's a poor design'. I can get on with using it during May now, then strip it, refurb it, write a massive thread then sell it!
