Dyson have recently announced that they are ending spare parts and service support for the DC04 range of vacuum cleaners.
Released in 1998, the DC04 was one of Dysons all time most popular models and many tens of thousands are still around today.
Dyson ended spare parts and service support for the DC01 and DC02 in 2011. Ending support for the DC04 was the next step for Dyson that we in the trade have been expecting for some time.
However, now its official. This is the email Dyson recently sent to DC04 owners on their database.

Dyson DC04 Spare Parts
Does that mean you can no longer get spares for your DC04?
NO it doesnt!
The DC04 is a model that there are many after-market spare parts available for, and many used parts. DC04 spare parts supply will be OK for some time yet.
DC04 Spare Parts
The larger parts sellers are now stockpiling the faster moving genuine DC04 spare parts that are popular lines before supplies run out next month from Dyson. Some DC04 spares have been quietly becoming obsolete over the last few months, this is how the trade knew this was coming.
Also, the DC04 shares many spare parts with later models of Dyson, so stuff like tools, motors, etc will be available forever.
Back hoses for clutched models are something we will be sorry to see go. Nobody makes a decent after-market one, and the genuine ones are a nice item.
DC04 after-market wand handles are now available.
Apart from that, no need to panic. The DC04 will be around for a long time to come yet.
