I have a bayonet coupling on the end of the hose to connect to my car
washing brush. I also have a spray attachment. I don't want to have to
walk all the way back to the garden tap each time I want to swap the
bri=ush for the spray and vice versa. So what I want is a tap that I
can fit in the hose about, say, 2m from the brush or spray.

You can buy a hose connector with a built in valve that cuts off the water
when you disconnect it.

Yep, I now know this to be a Hozelock Aquastop.

But is it as good? (Mind you, Wilko in Spalding didn't have one of
those, but they had three of the Hozelocks.)

In my view yes and left outside they last just as long (or as short) a
time as the hozelock.
