What is battery part number? I have a MBAT18 -LI and can't get another charger for it unless buy a whole new drill. Bought it 3 years ago and hardly used it but can't find a compatible charger. Went in to B&Q to look and had a try but is different fitting
Old one is MB18HDA-Li , new one is MEB18Li-20. Just the little stopper part to cut off and it gets into charger and drill
Thanks for this, I started by assuming the valve itself was faulty and was going to get a replacement. Glad now that I decided to troubleshoot first and found this video!
I'm guessing the 60v battery never happened and 5kw 72v was the go? I'm building a 4x4 velomobile with a 52v 2000w hub motor on each wheel 20x4 inch fat tyres and 8kw. Should be fun off road. It uses 4 batteries, one for each wheel and has 1600 discs and fully independent suspension.
Hi , I tried making a 90v battery and blew something- long story short- lost interest and moving house- so sold it! I am going to recreate something similar soon. Yours sounds a good project- keep up the good work
hey i have a problem with my analog controller where the resister is faulty at higher speeds and at lower speeds its fine any suggestions?
Hi , take it apart- sounds like the slider might be losing contact - clean and adjust it as necessary. Or it might be worn out? Thanks Yorky
Best demonstration on TH-cam!
Excellent tutorial, just changed the cross over pipe, you have saved me a lot of head scratching on what goes where. Great job thanks.
👍
The second lot work out more eco than the "eco" at 50p ( 25p an hour at the bulk price ) an hour Vs the first one 60p an hour, what's the brand of the second lot ? I use wood fuel direct heat logs, those workout at around £1.09 each and cheaper in bulk, last around 1.5- 2 hours ish when I have the air closed off about half way and they give off a lot of heat
Hi , 2nd lot are Croft logs - bulk buy works out even cheaper - but obviously harder to store and transport costs etc. Thanks Ray
@@yorkknight The cost of some heat logs can be deceptive, it's the time they burn for is key, any idea about RUF ? Some sites don't state burn duration.
@@Rapid_GT I had never heard of rug before. I might try a few more makes in another video soon. I agree , burn rates are probably 1 of the most important factors- but hardly used. Ray
Thank you, your video has been really helpful.Much appreciated.Jon Isle of Wight
Hello, good video of the tear down. I was interested in replacing the handle lock mechanism. My vacuum is not standing upright and is the up19 which is similar to the dc40 if not the same. I really don't understand all this model numbers, but when I look up a part for the up19 it also shows compatible with the dc40. Thanks.
hi , good luck with the repair- the upright mechanism is a common fault on quite a few Dysons- but a simple fix
My cars struggle over the lap counter without plenty of speed would the screwdriver thing help
Hi , try giving it a good clean / oil first-if that doesn't work- try the trick- but be careful not to break any parts. Yorky
What was the big block of concrete they removed under the lintel
Hi- its a piece they build into newer houses when fitting gas fire / a flue support?
Hi york knight . i have a battery car that probably dead it has 4.50 V . Can it weld my lithuim battery packs ?? And thx for the video
Hi- no- the battery won't have the power to do it
By taking that first bend out at 53", you'd actually fixed the problem. If you'd left it in the upright position you had it in at 1' 29" & replaced that first piece, it would have held it in the correct position & the Dyson would have stood upright perfectly. It was only the first piece you removed that prevented it. Someone had ovbiously removed it & refitted it incorrectly when the Dyson was in the angled position. I had exactly the same problem 10 minutes ago, & fixed it in 10 seconds.
What did you line the opening with on the inside to make sure its heat resistant?
Hi at 14minutes in- you can see the boards being cut to size- I think it's called vermiculite? Special board that heats resistant- thanks Yorky
Great video! 👍
Please was the minimum ah of battery for this
Hi - it does show the battery details at the beginning = 12AH , 170a. I would say this is the minimum - a higher rated battery probably better though. Thanks Yorky
@@yorkknight ok because I used 12v 7ah and it work but the nickel it doesn't stick to the battery
@@yorkknight I got a 200a car battery and still didn't work if I touch the 2 wires that goes to the switch it spark but when I put it on the switch and on it won't
@@laurabarnes3295 - Im not sure? Have you got the switch in place ok? Try a test light between the wires= make sure power getting thru?
Superb! As a visual learner as soon as you pointed out the area around 30/32 seconds I got the problem resolved just from just seeing that. Only removed that side piece & nothing else, basically the rest was irrelevant for how simple it was : ) Thanks!
Branchement très compréhensif. Merci et bravo
Question for you? how do I replace the middle flexi hose, the one right under where the hinge is located which can see at 25min into your video please.
Hi- I presume you mean the 1 still inside the motor housing - it is possible to change without stripping the machine too much - but really awkward and the diverting mechanism keeps fighting you as you do it. I might do a video on just that part soon -if I get another dc40 or 41 in. It's held by tiny screws at each end. Have a go / or wait til I do a vid? Ray
I need to try and get hold of replacement motor for one of our DC39. Any ideas in the UK
Ebay or Amazon. Yorky
Doesn't look like a professional job at all. Not bad for a do it yourself but even then, could have done a cleaner job.
It was a great job - don't know why you think it wasn't professional- they cleaned up after aswell.
How long did this take until you could use as a fireplace?
Hi, next day. Just wait for plastering to dry out.
I just taped up the pressure relief on my old vax, seems to fix the problem. I wonder if the spring loses tension over time (or is designed to).
thank you for your comment, this helped me solve my problem.
Thought about doing the same, but that will just compound the issue of your filters clogging up and eventually your motor will burn to a crisp so not really a long term solution.
Amazing work, I wanted to know if This was a mason chimney or a wood Chimney
Hi , masonary. The wood beam is just cosmetic
My dc 40 doesn't seem to have any suction in the dust bin. Remove blockage from the hose coming from roller and the hose connected for the wands. Next step is cutting the hair from roller but I doubt that's going to be the issue. Any suggestions or recommended reading? Thanks! Been a great help in trying to fix the hoover.
HI , check the small hose inside ball isnt split.and also the diverter is moving from wand to floor when cranking it over- Yorky
Thank you🌞
That register plate sagging
No
Thanks mate, I'll be able to repair that DC39 thats been sitting in the garage with a bad motor for 5 years now :)
What about the animal 2?
The animal version of each model listed is exactly the same to do the clutch cover
Sorry - wrong reply, The stand mechanism works the same on animal upright - excluding the ball type
the wrong tool for the job-
what do you recommend
@@yorkknight I would pick up a wooden paint stirring stick from your local supplier and sand the edge for fitting. Then simply rub the stick back and forth, giving that the wood will present far less chance of damaging the metal conduit inlay. As you mentioned, that particular track section had received damage somewhere along the line and it was just passed off. Thanks for your channel.
@@mealston1725 Thanks - great tip.
not seen any eco logs in Surrey
Hi , Im in the process of doing a video about the place I buy my eco logs from- details in the video on how to buy / get them delivered- keep an eye out for it- Yorky
Hi - try Croft logs (nr York) - the recycled ones I use in the video- I know they do a great offer for bulk buy / transport costs work out not bad then aswell. Thanks Ray
All these gimmick videos on Dyson radial root technology vacuums doesn't reveal the hidden issues that do go wrong. Yes cyclone separation has its advantages, basically in the eye of those cyclone centrifugal chambers, the air is cleaner. However with centrifugal forces comes consequences. Over centrifugal and cinetic oscillation ( in the newer) ones causes the real fine dust to get imbedded in those foam gasket, in the hopper unit ( I call it ) and works its way through the tips. These fine micron particles as they swirl causes static cling because some of these become electrically charged and cling to the plastic, no matter how much cyclone activity, these particles will not work loose and become caked on the tips and nozzle chambers. Dyson doesn't need to over technologize vacuums. Another thing is yes when in use the air is cleaner and it is bagless it reduces need of a bag and filters, but at what cost. First of all these caked fine particles over time in the chambers still carries pathogens that can grow and migrate in the crevices of the vacuum. Bacteria like dark environments. Any humidity will add to the spread. Washing that cyclone chamber assembly is a bad move because now, the crevices won't dry properly and now you've added an environment for bacteria to grow. The foam gasket on top of that chamber needs to be removed. The 7 t8 torx screws needs to come off and that foam gasket needs to be thoroughly dried, because if you don't take that off crevice mold will develop. You may need to order a new gasket for the top. Taking all the gaskets and seals out and cleaning the chamber ring completely of dust film will destroy the odors. Best bet is to take all the plastic parts of that chamber assembly and put it out in the fresh air for 12 hours and let it air out. ( It does wonders) My take on this project is this. Bagless is not always better and overboard on the technology is not simplicity and causes more issues in a short time. Replacing bags and filters are cheaper than this service process. This type of service for Dyson is not cheap. I have a Meile that I use constantly and it's from the early 2000. Bags and filters are cheap. I also know people that have an electrolux canister from the 60s and they still can get components. One can still get Bags for a filter queen. But a Dyson dustbin or certain filters are pretty much obsolete.
Wow- thanks for your point of view. I dont view it as a gimmick video- more a quick guide for someone wanting to do a service / repair. I do agree that they are a bit over complicated- hence why they go wrong and the need for repair videos.
@York Knight it's not your video I'm talking about it's the Dyson commercial or engineering videos that are the gimmick videos. There's an individual that's posting videos about common myths on Dyson vacuums and he calls me a tribalist and racist and asks for proof of dustbins going cloudy from sandblasting. He says the vacuums are so go that the vacuums he sees never has cloudy dustbins or canisters. Sadly I can't post pictures in the comments.
Awesome video. My Duct assembly the handle broke. Could you please show me how to replace it. I already purchased the part from Dyson. Thank you
Hi, if you watch thru- I do show the duct part / dissassembly- you should be able to do the part using the video. I will be doing more videos- so keep an eye out- thanks Yorky
@@yorkknight I figured it out. Thank you so much. I will keep watching for new video's.
[ Never loses suction ] unless this happens
Not sure what you mean. Vacuums can lose suction for a few different reasons- I was pointing out what causes the valve to activate.
Is there any chance you could post a video of how to put the hoover back together, just when you were dismantling the hoover I couldn’t see where the parts were from!
hi , ive had afew requests like yours- so i will try to do a more in depth strip n rebuild, as soon as i get another dc40 or 41 in. thanks Yorky
wheels done to 100-120Nm, "impact wrench" described as 500+Nm
Hi how much did it cost to remove and clean up (without installation of wood stove)?
Hi- all in cost for remove old one and fit new one / incl liner etc
I was completely freaking out my dyson was broken but this fixed it in 10 seconds. I love you
Great video. I need to replace the spring on the DC40 swivel lock. Could you show a close up detail of the spring and how it fits? Mine disappeared! Thanks.
Hi, Next time I get a dc40 or 41 I will try. Might be a few months tho!
Good job! 👍
Thanks for this, motor went on my DC 20 recently. Saved £100s by getting a new motor vs a new vacuum.
whats the price difference between sport and digital?

Nice and clear and concise. Thanks
Absolutely superb video, no loud irritating background music, nice and clear instruction. Keep up the good work Mr
So many people are dumping gas now it is unbelievable. Back boilers and heat stores are the new/old way forward the robbing gas companies can keep their bills !!
I never used the gas fire - but I use this a lot and to boil kettle etc- so reduces how much I put the heating on and how often I use electricity to boil the kettle. I use recycled wood/ sawdust logs- so win/win really
What did you replace the old concrete lintel with?
Left it in place- removed everything upto the level of the lintel.
@@yorkknight ah!, couldn't see on the video, the builders opening looks about the size I'm going for (so there's more flue pipe) but mine is a lot smaller. Thanks for the reply, looks like you have done a sterling job there 👍🏻.
