Basic but correct only mine has spade connectors on the motor so no need to cut and solder wires. The problem I found was that the main inner filter was blocked, probably by cement dust who I am guilty of! I would like to know if this is available as a spare part? I have cleaned it for now but it really needs changing.

This vacuum cleaner is based on the DC52 model. The post motor HEPA filter has the part number 922444-02 and is offered by many spart part vendors in the web. Just google Dyson 922444-02. I have made an instruction on how to replare or clean it.
