Yes, as expected, that supremeplumb website was in fact too good to be true. They emailed to say that they don't actually have any of the parts in stock, as they were long since discontinued(unsurprisingly).
Ordered a £43 cyclone from Amazon, let's just wait and see.
The search for wheel caps, and maybe a bin flap, post filter cover and soleplate screws continues...

I asked them about 3 parts showing as available too, asked them to confirm stock and said we'd have any and all they have. Reply came back they had none. $:-\$

The same thing has happened to me on other websites aswell as countless eBay listings. I wish companies would just update things! I suppose they just don't expect someone like us to come along after parts that they haven't sold for a number of years!

Shock horror. The Amazon seller doesn't have any either. So, there's gonna be no new cyclone. Not a massive deal, the original one will wash and polish up OK by the looks of it. And it's a tad ridiculous to spend £40 odd to get a plain yellow (that will probably end up being grey since that's likely obsolete too) just to get the bin baffle fins off it.
Will keep looking incase anything crops up. Same for the other final parts I need too

Can I ask why you were set on new parts?

dysondestijl · « **Reply #20 on:** September 06, 2016, 08:49:58 pm »

To bring it up to as new standard

Madrat · « **Reply #21 on:** September 06, 2016, 09:07:41 pm »

Fair enough

Will never replace 'brand new in box' new-ness but it's as close as you can get

Now is probably the time to rescue a mint DC07 before all new parts vanish, while there are a few still about.

I'm sure it will look lovely next to my brand new one

I really want a brand new DC07 Origin, brand new DC14 (Any variant) and a brand new DC25/33. Possibly even a DC04 and 01 as well.
MVac's brand new DC04 is still on my mind...
