yes they do work perfectly well, much better than the silly little plastic reels, much cheaper and better than the big clumsy ones that all the wfp suppliers sell.

like I say we have them in both the transporter and expert

 Hi, I'll try and remember to take a pic while I'm out working  Friday.

Hi, just for closure, I found a small hose reel perfect for my needs, from ebay. It's great for having attached to my trolley or just stood behind the car. So they are out there if you need one...

It's perfect for holding 100 metres of microbore.

Here's a couple of photos just incase anyone needs something similar, I've included a 12 inch squeegee in there for size reference!

 Another update..... after a while that last reel turned out to be rubbish because the connector inside at the centre of the reel was at an angle so the microbore would get twisted and the connector would pop off.

 But if there is any other trolley users that want a good mini hose reel, I found an even better one perfect for fixing onto your trolley, and what's more  they seem to have worked out the kinks (to use a pun).........

 I found this really good "karcher" mini hose reel at B&Q for £20. The connectors that come with it are really strong and they don't come off easily or leak. The connection inside the reel is straight rather than at an angle so it turns round easily without popping off. It also comes with a wall hanging thing that is perfect for fixing onto your trolley with two screws. The reel hangs, but also clicks down firmly, so it's easy to connect and disconnect.

The only thing about that (if it's an electric cord reel)is that without a connector inside, the hose will get twisted when you reel it out/up.
