Hello. Sporadic poster here. I use a yellow DC07 as backup to the Rainbow. Someone in the house must have lifted the whole unit by the curved cyclone handle, as an L-shaped piece of plastic that securely anchors the cyclone assembly to the body of the vac has broken off. It isn't a show-stopper, as the cyclone sits appropriately on the body and is perfectly useable.
Email to Dyson customer service reveals that they only market the entire cyclone assembly. This is rather silly, not to mention expensive, as the handle of the cylone trivially unbolts from the bin and cyclone mechanism for removal/replacement.
I see the top handle assembly available on eBay out of Britain in various colors (I assume that's purely cosmetic differentiation) but not here in the States. In fact, I saw the precise "cyclone catch" I needed but it wasn't obvious how to disassemble the curved top handle in order to replace just that lttle grey piece of plastic.
Does anyone here sell just the cylone top (new or used) that I need?
