KEW Pressure washer repair

I have a KEW Hobby 80 pressure washer that has served me well for a number of years. The pressure hose has started to leak right at the outlet on the machine. The hose is A1 but the connection leaks at the plastic nut. I have been quoted £55 fo a new hose BUT I DON'T NEED A NEW HOSE just a new connector. Does anyone one if this can be repaired or do I spend £55 to repair an old machine or buy a new one?

Cheers
Dave

  • There's a few people on ebay that sell KEW parts. One guy in particular sells hoses and other things. Give it a search. (I just did - the Ebay shop name is High Pressured Designs from Valetech).

    Hope you get sorted - I've had mine for years and it has given good service.
  • My Kew Hobby kinked at the machine end, & obstructed the flow. I got it repaired cheaply, while I waited, by PIRTEK. Look them up in your phone book.
