p.s. Not using Hozelock 'Waterstop' connectors by any chance?

Just read through the thread, I still have a very old KEW Hobby, bought at
the Ideal Homes Exhibition many many years ago. I also had this problem,
and in the end it turned out to be using waterstop connectors on the inlet.
Also had trouble with grit in the lance, had to buy a new lance, as the old
one didn't lend itself to my style of DIY disassembly! :-)

Still in the garage unused now as it was bl**dy heavy to lug around, now
replaced with a Nilfisk.
