Three stage vacuum motors are available on sites like e-bay for around £75.00. I have had one in my old machine for 2 years, why not trawl the net for offers?

QUOTED FROM DR CARPET;
Our mantra would always be to a carpet owner to get an expert in rather than try and do the cleaning themselves. Why then should we try and tackle the maintenance/repairs to our machines when there are mechanics who are far better qualified to undertake the work quickly and correctly?

 When Mrs X tries to clean ger own carpet the chances are she will use incorrect method/chemicals and so on.  Changing a vac motor is an easy task to do on a porty.  I cant see what anyone could do wrong.  its a easy 30 min max job.

Not the first time you do it. But I accept the point you are making. However there always has to be a first time.
