Just give the brass tube a little knock and it will come free. Then you will be able to fit the right adaptor.
WOW - Done that and it works. Brilliant. Well done Steephill. (Will you marry me?) Lol
Just need to test it out now. Hopefully there'll be no leaks. Many, many thanks.
No leakage from the tap end which is great news. However it leaks from the nozzle end and I know it's because I haven't pushed it down far enough. I'll get someone stronger to sort this but in the meantime I can use it without the nozzle which I wouldn't need for my front garden anyway.

you can just push the new hose onto the tap which has just the right fitting already for your new hose (where the O ring is).
The hose itself is 1/2" and the tap will have a 3/4" thread which is standard
