Just checked the prices for the 6m and 7m hoses.

Is the 6m hose a straight replacement or is it an extension as well?

There's nearly £20 difference between them for that extra 1m!

My mistake,

just looked at the small print. The6m is a replacement item.

Is this a good price for the 7m?

very good price - you need to check its an extension though as the one in the pic (granted it says for illustrative purposes only) looks like the original one

The print beside it says extension. They sell the 6m one and it says in the blurb it's a replacement. Don't live too far from a MM so I'll check it out once I buy the C120.

Thanks for your help.

Nick.

Hi there,
Despite the print, I'd double check - you know what companies are like sometimes with these things, jotted down a few without completely checking!

I was very lucky with my extension for my C120 - at the end of last year, when Nilfisks 'super non-paid salesman' (aka 'Kev') - said about the worldofpower offer, luckily the super flexible extension was about £40 so I decided to get that - and it is super flexible whilst still strong. Strangely these have gone up to around £70, so I wonder if the original pricing was wrong. Whilst the standard one is no doubt more than adequate, I'd still consider the super flexible one, it is particular good if you might have some tight corners to bend it around.

Regards,
Clive.

Try your local hydraulic pipe repair shop, they can make a new hose up any length you want
