Not worth it if the motor, filters and cable all required for example.

We routinely replace motors and very often cables. People will pay proper money for a machine that is done right. Our recon DC14s in the shop are £115. They need to be that for the work that goes into them. They represent good value at that IMO.

Do you make sure its a genuine plug when you sell the machine? I had a DC14 that I sold to my nan, the plugs pins were slightly damaged so didn't fit in right so since the cable was ok I just chopped the plug and lobbed on a random white one I had - I only gave it to my nan but since its going out to one of the public do you think it should have a proper plug or not matter?

We would typically fit a new cable if the plug was iffy. But a nice dark plug with a cable collar on looks OK too.

Ok well don't need to fix any cables yet, and have a spare one anyways for now, probaly order a cable from you sometime in the future - Ive had one from you guys before, a lime and purple one for my DC04, I remember emailing in asking about one.
