Today my Dyson DC04 motor burnt out it is 7 years old exactly and its burnt out.  Does anyone think this is good for a machine that is 7 years old?  It was used heavily throught its life.
I have have a choice to either buy a new mtor which will cost me £25 from Dyson and fit the motor myself or spend £180 or so and but a new Dyson.  I don't really like the newer Dyson and haven't got a lot of money to spend so don't mind buying a new motor and fitting it myself (I have had to strip the motor last year and put new ducting on the machine)
Its a shame as even though initially I didnt expect the Dyson to last this long I really didnt want it to go wrong at 7 years.   Any people with similar expecrience of their Dysons burning out after 5 - 7 years?
