you can get repair tape from B&Q to get you out of trouble if you need it.

I have stream microbore 100m I think its just be reduced to £49.99.

Thanks Ian

I use brass hoselock connectors. Will they fit on a stream microbore? 100m sounds good!!!

6mm microbore from wintecs

36.25 + VAT - long lasting, supple, doesn't kink and we've got 90m or so on each reel with no flow problems.

you need half inch to fit them but its easy to join a short length of half inch to the microbore if you want to.
