I see through Google that there have been several requests for advice on
opening the Dyson DC05 to replace old power cords, but have not seen any
replies with advice. Does anyone know how to get into the Dyson DC05 to
do this work? Without guidance it's probably risky just to guess whether
any plastic trim needs aggressive removal to reveal screw closure fixings.

Advice appreciated.

I have two DC01s and both block on a regular basis. Both has needed
the mains lead replacing (FOC from Dyson despite being out of
guarantee).

I'd be inclined to contact Dyson first. I must say I have always found
their after-sales service (and indeed the machine) excellent.
