Thanks Dave, having a Google around I saw the SDS drill bits and
wondered if hiring one of the drills was the way to go.

There are a lot of sub-50 quid SDS drills around these days which are ok
for
occasional DIY (though not professional!) use - so buying one may be
preferable to hiring.

Given the age of the B&D it maybe a good time to get soemthing else anyway.

An SDS drill does not substitute for an ordinary hammer drill.
For small holes in wood, metal, the SDS RPM can be low, and the weight
can be quite a bit higher.

It's a very good tool to add, as it can do things that the hammer drill
simply can't.
