vacuum cleaner

My 9-y-o dyson dc08 is not sucking as well as it used to and the brush head doesnt spin either which could be because of loss of suction. I have cleaned out the brushead completely so there is no dust in there. Likewise filters.
Will a £73 service solve this prob? They told me any defective parts would be changed, including the motor if it is not sucking properly. I have my doubts.
What I want is a machine that will suck the carpet off the floor! Any suggestions? Dyson have a 20% trade in at the moment.

My machine must be about 10 years old now, but I had the £73 service about 3 years ago, it was sixty something pounds then, and the amount of components they changed left me with a machine that felt brand new. Even the handle that had cracked was changed. Definitely worth the cost.
Thanks for the replies. I do fancy a new one. Technology must have moved on. Not sure why you have to have a trade in. Why not just reduce by 20%. I do like Sir James. I dont think he is out to con people even though Dyson seem to have far too many models for my liking. Not sure moving the business out of UK deserves a knighthood. Cheapest on the net I have found is Makro. Am waiting for a reply from them to see if they are offering a discount for trade in.
I assume you have washed the filters? Well I took it I step further I once adopted a dyson which someone has sucked up wet mud with so I took everything apart and everything but the base bit on wheels and the main part of the handle/wand ended up in the sink under water full hot soapy wash and dry. You know the bit which looks like a bees hive inside the container you empty out well I picked out all the mud and kept filling it with water and pouring out kept repeating until it was clean water running out. I worked good after. Also looked at a elderly relatives dyson which wasnt sucking and because she was'nt emptying often enough the whole inside of that honey cone bit was packed full of dirt soild it took me a hour with a stick to get it all out and then it worked fine (your better doing this outside)
