Cut the hose and use the inline repair plastic pieces....

Pole hose is so cheap that you ought to have a good load of metres spare in your van at all times along with all the other spares you can afford.

[lee_dewing]

will get some, when order more pole hose.

[GDwindowcleaning]

They are little plastic inline repair pieces, can buy them online and b and q sell them if you need a quick fix...

Any good aquatics shop will have both hose and spares.

Forgot about the aquatics shops, thats a good shout...

They dead handy to have in the van as an instant repair...

If you just need a temporary repair to get you through the rest of the day a few turns of insulating tape will do the trick.

Thanks Ian have some ptfe tape, next time i spring a leak, will do a couple of turns topped of with some gaffer or electrical tape.

Will top up on the spares got quite a few, but not for that
