Hi,
Don't waste your money buying 'service discs' all of the information you need is totally free. go to www.dyson-online.com and click on 'Help & Support' then select either 'Technical Advice or 'Hints & Tips'. All the information and parts you need will be there.

Hi.
The noise you can hear is coming from the clutch assy.
Unfortunately you require a new clutch.
If you are in the UK you can purchase the clutch from most vacuum repair shops.
You can then fit it & save loads of money.
You can find instructions on fitting the Dc04 clutch on Ebay UK
