And as usual, we have the laid out exploded diagram shots!
And with the aid of the very laptop I'm using now to write this, my Thinkpad X60 Tablet, we can nail this back together!
Cyclone first
The cyclone top cover goes on with the tab lined up with the bin release rod housing
All looking a bit cleaner under here
Then the top and middle part can be bought together
Then the middle seal goes on
The inside of the middle cyclone didnt come up spotless, but no one is ever going to see this again, so meh
The middle part of the release rod goes on next, the spring needs to sit like so

It sits here
When the shroud/middle part is bought up, the spring needs to sit like so
The spring for the bin latch is also fun, but it sits on one side nicely, then the spring can be held shut with a screwdriver as the 2 halves are clipped together, then released
The shroud can be slid on
Top bin seal fitted
The bottom seal is popped on
Top gubbins now
The filter cap seal goes on

Learn foreign with Dyson!
The bin release button pushes down and snaps into place
Then the top handle clips onto the cyclone top
Tadah
Pop the bin release rod onto the bin
Seals onto the bottom flap
Even clean, the bin is pretty trashed but it looks better now
Onto the brushroll motor
The middle brushroll bearing was greased

Middle tensioner fitted
Then it can be fitted to the motor, and the belt fitted to both halves
Middle wheel axle gets a little drop of grease
And the wheel fitted
Cover on
The motor is fitted to its support part
Brushroll cogs go on
And it can all go into the much cleaner main housing!

The now moving freely wheels were fitted
Then it was time for the motor wiring to attach to the plastic housing to clip it onto the brushroll chassis
The wire loops round underneath as shown
The motor can be sat on its tray and dropped on, then the wires run and plugged in
The little cover that covers the wires sits on the bottom
Then the top motor cover goes on and screws everything together
Brushroll bearings/end caps now
You can service these by removing the circlip that holds the bearing in place.

Then the ball bearing itself pushes out, and you can remove the plastic cover that goes over the race....Crikey
You want to pick out as much hair as you can and spoon fresh grease in. Roll the bearing around in your fingers for a bit then replace the covers and spin it some more, then wipe off any excess, and refit the bearing to the holder
Time to fit the ERP bit onto the brushroll
It needs to sit in here, and be clipped around 3 plastic pegs, and sit behind 2 plastic tabs, it's a bit fiddly
But you'll get there eventually
Now attach the blue front squeegee to the black bar. Again, very fiddly and youll end up taking the black bar out in places to clip the blue strip to it
But eventually this too will fit, and smooth operation will be operated!
Once done, you can fit the front and baseplate back onto the housing, fit the brushrolls, do up the baseplate and the brushroll housing is done!
2 down

The exploded diagram is a bit smaller now
Motor stuff first
Which was much cleaner
The washed fan went on
Then the washed fancase
Wheel carriage lock refitted
And it's cover
The white little cam went on
Motor top rubber on

With a cock and refit of the carbon brush, the motor can go back into its housing
The rubber inner clips onto the fancase cover
Then the cover screws onto the motor housing
Time to start piecing the changeover valve together, stick a small smear of grease on all the pivoting parts as you go
Annoyingly, I snapped off the tiny bit of plastic the main changeover spring attaches to, a small screw did the job at replacing it!
Once all back together, check the operation by moving the main black plastic part up and down to flip the hose
And then fit the hose retaining bracket
Time to join the 2 halves now

Start by running the spine wires from the top
Then as you get to the bottom, half screw the motor housing on, run the wires across the join
Then once run correctly (match up the bends and kinks in the cable), do up the screws and fit the blockage port cap
Brushroll switch and wiring goes on next
Releif valve goes into where it belongs
Then the main suction ducting can be fitted to the motor housing, being sure that everything is clipped together well before screwing it up, or yourll get a big air leak
We'll pop this seal back on here
Then fit the PCB (well, glue it in in our case) and fit all the wires as shown
Then the PCB cover can go on

Time to clip the internal hose into the bottom chassis now
Then pop the wheels and the bottom assembly onto the motour housing unit
The dreaded yolk loom now, I hate this part! Start by finding the original bends in the wires, and feeding them onto the black rear plastic part like so
Then go to pick up the grey outer part, and watch the wires fall off. Mutter a rude word and fit them back again, then clip the grey cover over the top
Swear some more as the grey cover falls off several more times as you push the black holding part into the chassis, then clip the corner bit into the space in the top cover. Once it's in, it's still liable to move, so be careful!
Feed the wires down towards the suction hole
Fit the plug to the outer housing observing the orientation
Then with 1 hand holding the wires into their channel, push the housing into it's place below
Pop the spring onto the yolk locking peg

Then clip the locking peg into place, maybe one last naughty word as the wiring dislodges itself again...
Time to fit the clear cog. Now you may ask why we didnt do this earlier, and that's because it is a right sod to line the teeth up to fit the housing. The easier way to do it is:
Peel back the housing slightly from the motor housing, slip the cog under and line the teeth up that way, then fit the screw
With the assembly in 'reclined' mode as shown (wheels flipped up), the arm of the clear cog will sit as shown above
Now we can fit the top sliding cover
As you can see, the socket will fall out again, one last time pop it into place, then once the cover is on it'll never move again, fit the screws at the bottom quickly, then fit the rest at leisure
Pop the 2 ball shell wheels in
Fit the 2 washers and retaining 'clip' on the filter side of the housing
Then fit the 3 screws (you could do this before the above step tbh) that hold this side of the assembly together
Fit the cover

On the other side, fit the white top part of that pivot and screw it down. I forgot to take any pictures of that part, so use your imagination!
If you dismantled the bearings on the ball shells (which you don't really need to do), now it's time to reassemble them
Then fit the non filter side
Then, on the filter side, fit the post motor filter. I put this one through the washing machine and it came out very well indeed
Then assemble the shell
TBH the reason I don't recommend doing this is this blue part took AGES and made me
to refit...
But eventually, it clicked in, and the fake ball (as their really 2 big wheels) was assembled again

Time to move right on up and pop the switches back in
And the switch buttons
Once youve fitted the switch buttons to the machine, check they push and click properly, they can jam if everything is not lined up 100%
Next, lob the top handle stuff back together
Now it's starting to look like a vacuum cleaner again!
I got this a little gift
I can't remember who sent it now, I would have thanked them at the time but it contained some tools!
Which fill a hole nicely
We can wind the cable up then, and she is done!
But how did it come out? Well...

Very well indeed!

I think it was you actually! You've just jogged my memory, plus your the only person I know who sticks the whole sheet on the box rather than just cutting the label part out!
