Daughters vacuum cleaner is a Shark, model PZ 100 UK, the brush Roller is intermittent, cleaned and checked for debris etc, nothing found. Its very intermittent, I suspect the connection pins between the floor Brush and roller were it connects to the rest of the machine. Is this a common fault ? Any info appreciated.

Don't know if that is a common fault or not. Does the brush roll motor indicator light up red, flashing red or green when the brush stops turning. If red then it is being physically obstructed from turning. Flashing red and it is probably an air flow problem. Green and it is probably as you suspect a bad connection or broken wire that is breaking when it's flexed ( that is common on other machines but don't know about yours ).
Goes red then stops, switch off at its mains switch and back on again runs ok again. Had the Brush Bar out and that other roller, nothing obvious. Tried running with with out them both in situ, same result. Is the Brush motor a 12 volt type ? Thought about testing it on a 12 V supply.
