Dyson DC04 Motor burn out

My Dyson DC04 motor burnt out yesterday after 7 years of use. I started the vacuum and vacuumed for around 20 seconds and then there was a loud noise and an electrical smell and smoke coming out of it!! Here is s video showing what it is doing now - not very much just screaming away and smelling very bad. I will need to buy a new motor next week and put it in the machine myself - looks like the post motor filter will need changing too. Good thing I got Dyson to send me a spare one 2 years ago and I didnt pay for it either. This machine has been very reliable for the 7 years its been in use and to be honest it has been used a lot in the house and in the car a few times in the 7 years. So far the machine has had a new clutch when brand new as the original one was noisy , a new wand handle and 2 x stair tools and the whole duct changed over which I changed myself apart from that everything else has been ok just now its completely gone. Will be cheaper to get a new motor than buy a new one.
