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.
I've never been to bed with an ugly bird but I've woken up with loads!

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.
