[Resolved] Dyson DC07 Bin Restraining Clip

[fingres]

Long shot this, I suspect it's a "put up with it" answer, but if anyone has any ideas...

The two clips on the plastic (turquoise) cyclone motor unit that hold the clear bin in place have both broken off my DC07. One clip is a spring-release mechanism, the other is more of a "sticky-out lip" (for want of a better description) that fits in a slot on the bin.

I can't find a replacement spring-clip, and suspect the answer will be to replace the whole cyclone unit or buy a new vacuum, but if you've had this same problem or have an idea for a solution I'd be grateful to hear it.

Thanks!

Ach, nevermind. I've just found that you can buy the whole cyclone assembly for < £40, so I think the answer is to put up with it, replace the whole cyclone assembly, or buy a new vacuum cleaner.

I also can't figure out how to mark a thread as resolved
