Morning chaps,

The internal rubber o ring on my lance on the part that connects to the spray gun failed a while back and I managed to bodge it by fitting a larger one in, but it's far from ideal.

Does anyone know the correct size gasket, or do I have to buy a new adaptor?

Also, the o ring perished on the end of the hose that connects to the karcher, and as a result kept on popping off even when screwed on tightly. I tried to bodge this as well but didn't have the correct size seal so kept on shooting off.

Is the thread going to now be knackered and the seal fail even if I do buy a replacement?

If so, is this new pressure washer time?

Thanks all.

From what you've described it's the lance and hose with issues so why replace the pressure washer?

These might do the trick for your lance

Not sure if same size for hose as well but it's not difficult to find some

Because after having a look at the pressure outlet and the connecting hose end the threads don't look in the best of condition. So I'll need a new hose, pressure outlet and karcher connector for the lance.
If I was to buy a genuine karcher hose along with all the other bits it wouldn't be far off the cost of buying a new one.
But have found a non oem hose on eBay that is significantly cheaper, so I think I'll just fix mine.

Thanks for the link by the way!
