Crikey, 2016 I picked this up, I had the Xantia at the time! It was a facebook selling post, for a free Miele that kept cutting out.
Before you could say 'free bar' this happened
A massive bag of tools
Many filters
And a very sorry looking vacuum cleaner! I had a quick peek inside before I drove off and saw exactly what I was expecting!
One tool was in the tool holder
And the floor tool was pretty well used
But, free! Here it is next to my Mums then-daily Miele
With the tools fitted
And showing the dreadful state of the plastics

I filmed the before video
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlj6jnDYnQs
And then because we fixed it there and then, gave it to mum! Was a great upgrade to her old S424i which got refurbished here -
https://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,3037.0.html
and did her well for another year. I always said that when the box of bags I initially got for her ran out, I would refurbish it. They ran out in July!
So, during August, I sorted another vacuum out for mum to use
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdYCaIioX0s
And got it apart
The tools end came off the hose
Suction release valve pops off the handle grip
The wand was washed as one, I didn't fancy breaking it and having to buy a new one, their expensive!
The floor tool was next, and the one main issues I find with Miele is how the floor tool soleplates rust!
A fair amount of fluff was built up inside the head
The one remaining lint strip was removed
The springs that help the head change mode pull out of the fluff
The brush layer lifts out, and the part that clips the pivot to the main head and the pedal can be lifted out

This is the spring that makes the tool door pop up when the latch is released
The small tools were split
Miele's always work in layers, and that was the top layer. Time for the next
The cover for the motor exhaust diffuser pops off
And the diffuser itself comes out, this can be washed with the rest of the machine
The bag door cover lifts up and pulls off it's latches
It's utterly filthy! We also need to undo those two screws as pictured, which releases the hose entry trim
The bag full indicator lifts out then
And splits apart easily for washing

The bag door latch pops off it's 2 locating tabs
And it's spring comes off
Time to move to the back now! Under this piece of rear trim
Sits 2 screws
Those, and 2 more at the front make layer 3 lift off
The pedals themselves release via the 2 tabs under each of them, but do this from underneath, they snap if you lever them from above!

The bag door hinges can be removed from underneath the bag door
The speed control fascia and knob pops out
The knob pops out
The 2 pieces of trim that help the machine stand upright pull off
Post motor filter and it's cage come out
Pre motor filter (which was replaced not long after I got the thing with a spare one) out
From here, the whole wiring loom lifts off
And pulls off the holding cage
Some more screws later, and the motor cover/middle chassis lifts off the lower chassis

Surprisingly, the fan isn't too bad, the built in overheat protection saved its life!
Fancase seal off
Sound deadening out
Time to remove the wheels! Pop the wheel off, then unscrew the metal bracket to remove the wheels off
And we are apart!
Whilst everything was drying after it was washed, I whipped the motor apart anyway
Popped the caps off the bearings and re-greased them

Cleaned the thermal sensor
And washed the fan, just because it's always rude not to when its out
All was re-assembled
I then got the polisher out
Which bought them up really nicely!
Everything was then laid out
And the wheel brackets can be refitted

The bag full indicator gets assembled
And fitted to the machine
Outer trim screwed in
And the whole thing can be refitted to the vacuum!
So I could shut the bag door, I ripped the holder off the last bag to fit!

Getting there
At this point, mum went away for a long weekend, so I grabbed the other tools that she was using with the AmazonBasics, as it's 35mm too, and got them apart and washed
Hard floor brush first, 2 screws under here
And the retaining piece comes away
Tool lock apart and off
Wheels out
Brush strips out
I spent some time and de-fluffed them, they were full, much softer now!
