lol...i rang a repair man and they said they will fix it for 20 pounds. I think that's my best bet. really appreciate the help, though.

Thanks. lol. I think this is probably way above my head. Might have to get someone in to do the job.

so, am i right in thinking that with a cable connector, you would cut the cord and then have three wires? And then feed those wires into each end of the cable connector? Is that right? Is it easy for someone who has NEVER done this kind of thing before? Thanks again for helping out. DAVE

see, what I was thinking was possible would be to cut the cord, and then somehow splice them back together. Is this not the case? And any idea what the sparks might have been when i put the new fuse in, and why the wall socket switch won't depress anymore? I hate sucking at home repairs. Cheers.

many thanks for the reply. I don't even think I would know what to do with one of those connectors anyway. How hard would it be to fit a new cord, entirely?

I have a hoover bagless vacuum cleaner which I am very happy with it. It is so powerful, that when I was cleaning the other day, it somehow managed to suck up part of the cord. It made a crazy noise and since then, it does not switch on. Part of the black rubber outside casing has stripped...
