Good morning all,
I have a DC01 about 12-13 yrs old, and have noticed that suction from brush head is not as good as it used to be. I have found air leaking past main seal between the swivel head and the main body of the machine. THe seal is located by the RH wheel. I found a picture on this forum & have attached (hopefully I have I've done this correctly :) )
I don't know if the seal is the problem or the amount of play on the main pivot. When in the working position you can move the the head unit up against the seal & this appears to reduce loss of suction.
Is there a repair kit or components that allow you to tighten up wear in this pivot and also replace this main seal?
Many thanks for any advice tips you can supply.
Thanks
