I've just been given a pressure washer, but I was not aware I'll need a hose too.
I have a normal garden hose, but it's a bit short to reach, for example my car.
Can I use an extendable hose with a pressure washer ...it's a karcher K2

I don't see why not as long as you make sure it isn't kinking anywhere. Personally I would get a conventional hose which is long enough. They last far longer than extendible hoses and are repairable if they do leak.

I assume you mean the input side of the pressure washer. If that's the case, any garden hose with a standard hose connector will fit a Karcher.On the output side, you need special high pressure hose, or it may explode on you.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.2
