Question about Dyson DC07 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum
The extension rod slides all the way in when the extension unit is not slotted into the main machine, but when I do set it back into it's housing, it doesn't slide all the way home - the extension rod sticks up about 2" above the flap that closes the down on the top of it. Anyone got a solution?
I have this problem also-it is so frustrating that I am reluctant to take the hose out. Mine is the dyson dc50. Please help!!!

Locate and purchase the correct belt for your Eureka vacuum cleaner from the local grocery or department store. Vacuum belts come in different sizes according to your model of vacuum. Check your owner's manual or the vacuum itself for your model number.
Turn your vacuum cleaner over so that the bottom of the unit is facing you. Remove the cover plate from the bottom by undoing the screws that are holding it in place with a screwdriver.
Locate the belt pulley rod near the back of the vacuum base coming out of the motor. With the vacuum cleaner base turned upside down and facing you, the motor and pulley rod should be up near the top of the base.
Slide the vacuum brush roller out of the slots at the bottom of the vacuum base and remove the old belt from the brush roller and pulley rod. With the brush roller off of the unit, clean the brush by removing any strings or cords wrapped around the tube.
Install the new belt by looping it over the belt pulley rod next to the motor and then looping around the end of the brush roller in the belt slot. Hold the brush roller and pull back on it to tighten the belt while you slide the roller back into the slots on the vacuum base.
Replace the base cover plate by snapping it back into place and securing it with screws. Turn vacuum back upright and turn it on to test the belt and verify the unit is working

I found the answer - a pencil had been sucked in, and had lodged at the bottom of the housing, preventing the wand from sliding all the way "home". I phoned the Dyson customer service number and the technician walked me through the process to figure out what was wrong. It meant detaching the hose at the base of the unit - and there was the pencil.
