This question is for everyone on the forum.

Mine has started doing the same. I use mini bore hose and fittings.

There was a tip on here a few years back to turn the hose around after a few years. Its the first 50 meters or so that gets the most wear. If you swop ends around you will get better service from you whole hose length.
