Pressure hose fix

[Chopsdad]

I have a barrel style Karcher 5.50 pressure washer with built in hose reel.  Went to use it today and Mrs C has obviously used it recenyly cos the hose was under the barrel and kinked in 3 places, where it's not been wound up and now it's split  

Has anyone ever cut out the kinks well enough to withdstand 130 bar, or am I resigned to handing over £30 to Ebay for a new one? :-/

Never liked the Kinks, cut them out......

Thankfully I have'nt had any kinks in my one, really depends on how you're gonna fix it. Try e-mailing Karcher they may have a solution. Or the quicker way is to charge the missus £30 and get a new one

Have since had a look around don't appear to be any hose repair kits for the Karchers, think you mayl be resigned to a replacement, if you can't repair yourself.

I've 2 spare.  Used, but your welcome to one, for the cost of postage and a beer, next time we meet up.

Thanks Mike - £30 will get me 6m.  I've got 7.5m now so might as well try chopping it up first  :-/  £40 will get me 10m though, which sounds better

If youve got any local pressure hose companies (the guys that fix excavator hoses) they might be worth contacting. May be able to fix yours or make up a replacement cheaper than buying from the manufacturer.
