Your the Man!! It worked perfectly and your right, pretty dirty in there, cant believe how much stuff was in there. I might need a couple of those gaskets, any idea where they can be purchased? Many thanks for your help Procare .....Dave

I have a feeling there was no way to get the top part of the cyclone apart, Procare must have been thinking of another model. I have a 1" wood drill bit and will drill a hole through the side of this piece of... see if I can get the dust and hairs out of the top unit. These blocked holes stop the cyclone action and the dirt in the canister just basically sits there with no rotation. It's a weekend job so if anyone has any suggestions please post. Many thanks.

Procare seems to have abandoned me so I am wondering if anyone knows how to service the top part of this cyclone assy. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to clean the top part which seems to be clogged with dust and hair. Many thanks for any assistance Dave.

Thanks Procare, I removed the cyclone part last night and investigated again and I see a screw through one of the holes that fasten it together but am unable to get a screw driver on it. There must be others but are unable to see them. Can you please direct me to a site that explains how to clean this top part. Many thanks and will definitely wear something to cover my mouth.

Hi, Looking for some suggestions regarding our DC17 Vacuum Cleaner and have noticed it really hasn't worked well for years. A friend of ours was over and mentioned that the cyclone area where it hold the dirt doesn't rotate like it should. We took it to the work bench and checked the holes that go into the cyclone area and by shining a bright light and probing the access holes into this area can see that the top area is blocked with dirt. Is this area serviceable or do I have to Drill a large hole in the side to clean it. Extreemly poor design but then what do you expect from a brit :) Any suggestions please, is there a work around or does Dyson have a exchange or replacement policy. I will call them eventually but I'm not good at being given the a run around or the gears, tad too old for that. Many thanks for any assistance on what I should do. ............Dave
