  I've noticed that they do connectors. I wonder if it's worth trying those before I fork out for a complete kit

  I've just ordered 2 to replace my hozelock B3. If you want to wait until they arrive I'll let you know how good/bad they are before you order.

  I also need one that will connect the patio hose to the down the garden one.

  My all hozelock set up is now leaking. I wonder if the water pressures itself  just wear out the the plastic and the springs.

  I can't remember if mine ever worked properly. I'm pretty sure it didn't .

  These Flowpro metal connectors look like they’re the business but I don’t know if they actually are. You can buy the parts individually.

  I'm going to have a look in the garden centre. Hopefully they'll have some alternatives to H
  I'm hoping hoses are standard diameters!

  There are 13mm(1/2 inch) and 15mm (5/8 inch). The two connectors I bought fit both sizes.
