Title: dc24 brushbar end cap
Post by: Madrat on January 08, 2016, 12:35:33 pm
Hi everyone,

Are there two different types of end cap for the dc24?  I have 3 at the moment, 2 of them have sideways play on the brushbar and 1 that is perfect, that one has a slightly different end cap, if I put this on the other 2 the play disappears and they run perfectly?

The after-market ones have a design on the end, but that is the only difference. There is only one fitment. The two are knackered.

The rattly ones that look different are worn.  :dead-dyson:

I know your probably correct but they do look very different, cant find camera and phone battery if flat.

All have dyson name and same part number but 2 different ones have 1A and one has 2A stamped on them.

I think it's the brush bar that's making the noise, It's much quieter when swapped.
