Any one got any ideas about where I can get the metal case re-welded? :roll:

Maybe anyone that welds cars, or welds anything else. For small repairs it may be cheaper to make a bracket and rivet it.

I have a 25 year old aqua-vac. It can use a canister filter (£6) which lasts about 10 minutes picking up old lime dust :shock: .

Yep, exactly the same with my vax. Clearly old lime dust can be very fine indeed.

What about sweeping up the big bits and then usindg a Henry?

They are ugly un-professional looking things, but are incredibly strong and cost only £90.

Sounds like a blocked filter. Dysons do have a filter after the cyclone, and its known for clogging.

Ah yes! the dreaded Dyson! We had a Mk1 and after about 100 empties of the container it stopped sucking. What had happened was that as the "cyclone" action is fairly weak, a load of muck gets stuck up the 2" diam centre tube. Poking a cane up this resulted in about 1/2 a bucketful of rubbish and a properly working machine. I E-mailed Dysons saying what a poor design this machine is and FOC they sent a new cannister back to me of a slightly different design. Only used it for about 50 empties so far, we will wait and see.
As a foot note I saw about a dozen Mk1 Dysons at my local tip (from a School/Hospital ?) externally they looked good as new- I thought I know whats wrong with them!!
