Wow, well you learn something new everyday
Easy done, quite sneaky at times those motors
We have a few of the genuine heavy duty DC04 Constant Max motors left, YV-511 02 on our site. At £39 delivered, they are excellent value I think and will last years, and fit any DC04 with a YDK.
Speaking of motors, I finally got round to getting my DC07 a new motorIt said MTR299 in the box somewhere IIRC (last week) And the suction is great, sounds a little fake though and when you turn it off, the motor is literally dead in silence after about 2 and a half second whereas a genuine Dyson motor takes about 5 seconds. They gave me contact details so if it does blow up (I have no idea how long it will last) then I will tell them that it blew up and its not even a year old.PS :off_topic: Is it me or do the lime green and grey Dc04 motors seem indestructible? They are tanks, I rarely ever see them burnt out yet I have seen clutched YDK DC04s with burnt out motors, would be interesting to see the lifespan of a brand new constant max motor vs a brand new Ametek DC04 lime motor, think that would be interesting

Not anymore though, its now got a YV-511 i it,doesnt sound as powerful yet its got tones of suction, its pratically silent, loads of suction but doesnt make the 'Hoovering' sound when you hoover
Resurrecting the dead here, but my 14 is going on 8 or 9 years at this point so I know a new motor is on the horizon. I would rather pay a premium to get the most powerful motor available. How can I identify these (besides the higher price)? I'm assuming that flat stated wattage isn't enough, either.
