    Does anyone know somewhere in D15 I can bring my vacuum cleaner to be fixed?

    It won't switch on when I plug it in. I have changed the fuse in the plug but that hasn't solved the problem.

    Saw an ad in Superquinn this morning and thought of you - Jim Gardner. Havent used him though so cant comment on his work.

    We had a vacuum cleaner with the same problem a few years ago. Turned out there was a small piece of plastic in the switch broken. I just bypassed the switch, so the unit came on as soon as it was plugged in - not ideal but we got a couple more years out of it!

    Are you not tempted to open it up and have a look yourself?

    Thanks for this Gaspode.

    I'll give him a ring. It's a Nilfisk vacuum cleaner. I'd love to open it up - but I wouldn't have a clue what to do then!!!!!!

    Just to update. Rang the above guy. He doesn't fix vacuum cleaners.

    Took it over to a repair shop in Harolds Cross and they fixed it (new cable needed).

    Thanks for the assistance, Gaspode.
