This is a picture of my Dyson Cleaner. After putting the smaller head on to do the stairs, I found that the large head wouldn't fit back on to the hose and kept slipping off.

Should there be another purple clip to attach it to the hose? I don't want to hit a new head and find I didn't need one.

I've looked on pictures of Dysons to see if I can see something but haven't been able to conclusively solve the problem.

First time I've loaded a Tinypic, too.

chrissa....there are so many different models of Dyson, it would be a good idea to give the model number as there are quite a few different connecting adaptors that could be involved. We have two different Dyson uprights (get us!) and neither looks like your picture!
dyson - weight of it - throw it out. I did and it was only a year old. Terrible hoover. sorry can't help you Chrissa.

It's not an upright, ginge and I thought by providing a picture, (a first for me) somebody could look at theirs, if they have one, and tell me.

Ooh. Can't agree, jj. Had them for years.
Usually the model numbers start DC

It's a DC08T.

Looks like there is an adapter for the smaller head.
Perhaps you've left the adapter on?

I know it sounds stupid but I think you're right. I'll have another check in the morning. Too chilly in the garage, tonight.

Thanks, Tuvok.

I just rang the free Helpline and have found out that it's the Turbo Head clip that has either worn down or, a bit of it has snapped off.

I can get a new Head for £55 or a brand new machine for about £269.

Decisions, decisions.

Thanks for your help, Tuvok.
You might be able to get a compatible part - try a goigle search.
chrissa, don't do a goigle search do a Google search ( Sorry Tuvok couldn't resist) snigger snigger.
