I have a Numatic Henry which is only a few weeks old and I have smashed one of the front plastic wheels off already!
I have a replacement but it comes as a completed wheel including the metal attaching pin. Only the plastic part of the wheel on my vacuum is broken, the pin is still attached to the unit. How do I take out the old pin safely so I can insert the new one?

Chris, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you've already guessed it. You need a new machine. Personally, if I were you, I'd check into the small shop vac's, type of vacuum. Craftsman has a good one that I've been using for, wow, more years than I can remember now. I had it a long time I know that. I actually picked up a spare one at a garage sale last summer and put it up on a shelf for one my old one finally bites the bullet, but so far, it's still going strong. The wet/dry vac's have a float system in them that actually plug the bottom of the air chamber where the vac draws it's air from, when the water gets too high in the tank. The motor starts to race faster than normal and that's the tipoff that it's full. Dump out the tank and go at it again. Better luck this time.
It could be the sponge filters or the dust partition that need replacing. But it might also be coming from the motor, best bet is to get it checked out.
on the motor there are 2 connection together and one on it's own and on the brushes 1 each ignore these .and on the motor fix to the 2 tab one that you can see a wire connection on and then fix to the other side of the motor .this worked for me
Most likely the motor bearings have worn out. You can fit a new motor quite easily, but if you need to pay someone else to do it for you the labour plus motor cost will probably make the job uneconomical. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
Sounds more likely to be the switch than the motor, especially if it is the model with the top switch rather than the side "rocker" switch. If you are in the UK, speak to the technical people at www.a1cleaningsupplies.co.uk they can post a replacement. Otherwise outside or even within the UK you can contact the manufacturers technical people. Website is www.numatic.com
