I don't understand the overheating problem ....... as I said before, I have used mine to clean £1600 worh of corridor so no furniture to move and machine was inside with me and only switched off to refill/empty ........ that never overheated the machine ........ but then my stack pipes were not congested with fluff & bits, due to vacuuming those off the carpet before extracting  ::)roll

Richie, you are right to thnk that problems may not reach CT forum but I saw the dead Jaguar 6.6 photos before they went public, so I am sure I would have heard about other problems !! I have had 3 Jag owners message me direct, with questions on daily maintenance but never on any actual faults.

At the end of the day, we all have out favoured machines, solution & suppliers ....... does not mean all the others are bad or wrong  ;)

Isn't that just the going rate for 3 average hallways?  ???

Got to laugh at the so called up grades anybody else would call it a Recall due to a defect.

  Actually ...  just in case anyone is bidding on one of the Jags on e-bay ( not Ian's one )   ,  I've noticed it appears to be fitted with 5.7 !  two stages  , if u toggle through the photos u can see an internal pic .   (  6.6 motors don't have black plastic upper section )

Its likely he stuck in cheap vacs to get rid of it as cheaply as possible after 6.6 failed .



Other than that it appears to have the Solutions upgrades ...

The silencer is replaced with two bits of black tube ...

There is black marker on the body to indicate not to fill beyond this point or ingress will occur ...   god knows whats suppose to happen if you go below the lower mark .

There is some kind of shrimp net in the waste tank to try to filter debris ...

And it has the ' washer for a dump valve handle upgrade '   


I'm not bashing Chris ...   honest         :-X

Its not Rockert Science! some people on here Die hard Nick White folowers and wont have anything detremental said about his beloved Jaguar, But ive had my Brand new Scorpion that was supplied to me through solutions last august, I have not had the slightest problem with any of the vacume motors or any other of the components in the machine! I have an older Scorpion which is nearly six years old and is only on its second set of vacs without a single problem to the vac motors! My Jaguar on the other hand lasted two months before the first number two vacume expired  and then every two months it seamed to blow another on a regular basis! If i were not looking after my machines why are the Scorpions not having problems ?
Sorry but its just a design fault  and nothing more! but rather than accept there is a problem with the Jag solutions prefere to blaim there customers!

Will have to agree to disagree on that point Stuart, as mine is the same design and if it were a design fault, mine should have the same problem !!

Nothing to do with being a follower of Nick's, as we have fallen out more than once ....... but impossible to say anything detrimental, when machine functions perfectly  ;)

Chris
Thats fair enough mate, but it seems there are a lot of folk getting rid of them! they are always being advertised on the forums! not somthing that was evident with the good old Scorpys!

All i know is when my jaguar came back from solutionst the second time it had been filled full of air holes in the rear of the machine and the silencer had been removed!

They dont do that for no reason do they ?

everyone thats had a problem with them including myself has had problems with the number two motor

One further thing! I do miss the Jaguar it was a powerful machine, just a pity mine wasn't as reliable as my scorpion
