Hi Terry.
Im not in your neck of the woods but have been repairing Dyson machines for a very long time.
You state you are looking for a local repair shop.
I made back in 2004 repair manuals for the keen Diyer which cover most of the Dyson range.
I have a manual which will sort this out for you please look at my site http://dc07.atspace.com for more details.
