Needs £££ spending on it though, and I'm not 100% sure the motor doesn't slow every now and again, so it's at the back of the loft for a rainy day!

Nice looks like you succeeded better than me, you should get a work bench though lots of little bits could get lost in the grass

Thanks for doing this Beko, I have one on the bench which looks like it needs a complete overhaul! ;)
This may just have inspired me to get on with it. :thumbsup:

Go for it! Their not too bad,  I can get one apart in 25 mins and together in 45 now after doing a few! Just card up your screws as their all different lengths,  and * the ones that need a plastic washer grip thing under them,  saves so much head scratching!

I had noticed a lack of proper teardown threads

Haha, they're good, but I get bored scrolling and scrolling on long Threads, that's why I make video's and maybe a few photos in my threads.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking you or anyone else... I do like to see repairs and strip downs of course ;)  :tiphat:

Will probably give it a go later tomorrow afternoon, good thinking on the card for screws. :thumbsup:

That would be great, if you click on you YouTube link in my signature and then go to the Vacuum Cleaners playlist you'll see all of them. Or you can look on my Threads on here and then read the Thread and watch the accompanying video's  :coffee:

No worries,  glad it helped! Did you have an specific issue or just fancied a refurb?

Ive been having thoughts about re doing the refurb tbh,  this was one of my early ones,  and after doing 30-40 of them,  am much better versed.  Reckon I could get 300 pics out of it... Got one in the shed too to refurb and sell...

One day I'll find the time

I'm a newbie in the group and just joined to try and fix a DC25. I can't thank you enough for the stripdown photos - brilliant - no way could I have tackled this repair without your help. Still got a way to go but I think I'm on the right track!
