Looking to Repair Your Dyson or Sebo Yourself?
As the North's leading independent Dyson and Sebo specialist, we get many telephone calls (and even more emails) to our shop from people seeking DIY Dyson repair advice. As much as we like to help people, we are so busy that we are unable to offer free one to one repair advice over the telephone, social media DMs, or email. We ask that people not telephone us asking to speak to our engineers for free DIY repair advice or tutorials, as a refusal can often offend.
This part of the site is here because the guides you need are already written and waiting, you just need to know where to look.

Our (Not Just) Dyson Forums
Despite the name, our forums long ago grew into something much bigger. Yes, you can get advice on anything Dyson, but you will also find Sebo people, Numatic and Henry fans, commercial machine engineers, collectors, restorers, and a surprising number of folk who know far too much about obscure vintage vacuums that stopped being made around the time Woolworths was still open.
It is a proper old school community. Our folks are there, along with long time engineers, hobbyists, and people who have rebuilt more machines than most manufacturers would care to admit. Make a free account, post a fresh topic, and you will usually get smart answers from someone who has been elbow deep in that model before.
The archive is vast, the rooms are sensibly split by model and brand, and unlike Facebook, nothing disappears under ads, memes, and arguments about which vacuum sucks hardest. This is still the only place where our technicians give free advice.
If you are an engineer, a keen DIYer, a collector of vintage machines, or a full blown vacuum whisperer, we would love to have you on the forums. Come and share your know how, stop a few DIY disasters before they happen, and help keep the place ticking for the next generation of vacuum obsessives.

For DC07 Owners
Any repair a DC07 is likely to need is covered in Angus Black’s DC07 Workshop Manual. UK buyers can get it from our shop by visiting >>This Page<<. If you are overseas, you can get it from >>This Page<<.
Dyson Medic
If you have a DC01, DC02, DC04 or DC05, the original Dyson Medic site is the one you want. Dyson Medic has been online since the early days of the internet, when dial-up modems, beige PCs, and webpages were lovingly built in raw HTML, long before WordPress existed.
It is the oldest Dyson DIY site on the internet, a piece of internet history, and still looks like it because that is half the charm. It is internet archaeology at this point, but it still teaches people how to fix machines older than some of our customers.
If it is an early Dyson, Dyson Medic has probably covered it, fixed it, stripped it, rebuilt it, and written about it twice, all before some of today’s YouTube experts were out of primary school.

The Dyson Medic Blog
The Dyson Medic Blog continues the Dyson side of things in a more modern format. It covers the practical information you actually need, which adaptor fits what, which screwdriver you really need, how to retrofit a modern motor into something that has not been made in twenty years, which parts interchange or definitely do not, and the real-world fixes you only learn after repairing thousands of machines.

The Sebo Blog
We started out with Dyson in the dim and distant past. Nowadays, we're Sebo gurus too.
For Sebo owners, the Sebo Shop Blog is the equivalent of a Sebo Medic. It covers Sebo repairs, troubleshooting, DIY fixes, comparison articles, fault explanations, and the sort of long-form practical knowledge you will not get from a three-minute social media clip.

Workshop Manuals
At present, the DC07 manual mentioned above is the only workshop manual available.
However, between Dyson Medic, the Dyson Medic Blog, the Sebo Blog, our forums, which effectively function as an ever expanding workshop manual written by hundreds of engineers, collectors, and DIYers, and our YouTube channel which is packed full of repair guides, reviews, expert opinion, and vacuums old and new, you are unlikely to be stuck for information.

Buy Dyson, Sebo and Numatic Spare Parts
Once you know what you are doing, you will need parts. We stock Dyson, Sebo, and Numatic spares, including belts, filters, hoses, motors, cords, tools, floorheads, and other hard-to-find parts. If we haven't got it, you probably don't need it.
If you are in or near Manchester, you can visit our parts counter >>here<<. If you prefer to shop online, you can do that through our online stores, take a look >>here<<.
Given Up?
It is not unusual for someone to take their Dyson, Sebo or Numatic to bits and then struggle to put it back together again. Many people bring their machine to us when they have tried to fix it themselves and then given up. Do not be shy about bringing us a bin bag full of parts that were once your Dyson. If you have given up and are in or near Manchester, we will fix it. Find out all about that >>here<<.
