Ged,

The tiny "O" ring in the spinner head has most more then likely blown.
Jan has spares, I had to replace mine this year.

  I noticed leakage on the nozzles so put ptfe tape on also let water flow witout a tool attached to get rid of any air locks. I eventually got it working by repeatedly pressing trigger it very gradually returned to normal. I have had this problem a couple of years ago and it gradually got worse and eventually the rotary head blew apart and was never really able to get to the bottom of the problem. I will speak to jan to see if she can shed any light on it.

Thanks Roger for your comment it sounds likely. Do you need a set of circlip pliers to access the mechanism as i seem to remember having a hell of a job dismantling it last time this happened.

Can't remember if I used circlip pliers, but yes it was a bas**rd to get off, just remember to re-grease afterwards.
