Thanks yes that's a DC01 behind. my mum bought it brand new in 1995 I think. sine then its had a new motor, kick plate, wand, cyclone, hose and cable. the Dyson man replaced all of that years ago.

UPDATE: the DC04 burning smell has stopped :bow:.the motor housing was full of black smelly soot from the old motor arcing :'(. all nice and clean now and now all I can smell is fairy liquid smell (apple) when I turn it on  :biglaugh:

Nice! Very good ;D and it seems unusual for a DC01 to have a new motor, lol. Was it burnt out or just a generous service? :P Either way it looks like in very good condition for 20 years old :O well done on keeping it so pristine!

Ohh okay I assume this has an Ametek motor as it's an early model :)

Omg a YDK motor in an early DC01? wow :o
BTW the YDK is more powerful actually :P Slightly more suction than the Ametek and the brush spins faster I think, hence grooms better  but Ametek is quieter
