belts are a buck a piece here, the one belt fits all models. i have a shed full of kirby parts for sale. sick of the damned things. :'(
only keep the cords, switches, motors, bags and tech drive units. rest goes to the scrap man.

I have a kirby man coming to do the work and supply belts and change the motor bushes for an offer price of £29.50 each instead of £49.50 and that includes the machines being polished up to new.
 But they said that the price of three belts are £15.00 and six bags were £39.99 so not all that interested in doing them as a norm but as a one off then its nice to see something abit different.

You are completely nuts.
Changing a belt is like wiping your arse, Would you pay somebody to do that? Saying that I'd have to charge more than that to wipe somebody's arse... Blimey!

And you are just addicted to plastic like most Japanese are.

Nope. I like Dysons because they are plastic AND metal ;) I think the DC41 needs a metal rod in the chassis

Mental note never let a kirby rep in your home or shop as they get the hump when you say no i dont need or want the new £2995.95 machine can you please do the job your here to do.Then they said well this needs replacing its only £175.00 and so does this one.
 The words well thats not happening so leave  >:( came out of my mouth to which they said well we will see what we can do then within two minutes the parts fixed. so no need for the £175.00 part just needed reconnecting together.
 If this is the world kirby live in then no wonder they are few and far between in my area.

NEVER let any kirby person through your door.
Had to do a stripdown and rebuild of a friends non working machine that had just come back from their "rebuild" plan. It was atrocious.

I told you it was a bad idea, if you want something doing do it yourself. That's my philosophy.
