Vax 3 in 1 Carpet CLeaner / Vacuum Cleaner (Ellacombe TQ1)

This machine is in working order and comes with all attachments and instructions. However, one of the clips that holds the section with the motor in on to the rest of the machine is broken. If the machine is lifted from the base, no problem. I have seen a repair done to one of these machines that eliminates that issue. Would be ideal for a workshop say but will still do everything it was designed for. Shame to throw it out. I am in Babbacombe.
