Karcher push on lance hose connection (problem)

Hi there

I have a karcher k3.575 with the push in hose connection. Problem is the hose keeps blowing out now when the washer is switched on. The little spring or whatever's in behind locking on the end of the hose just pops off!
Has anyone ever had this problem? Can I change it to the screw type? And any recomendations for a longer better quality hose / lance to use with this machine?

Cheers guys

Thanks for that! However I must have come across wrong to what my problem is or what's happening! The hose is made onto my lance and it has a push on connection which pushes into the actual washer like a quick release kinda system and this is we're the hose is blowing off at the washer.
I'm just hoping its not a new washer to fix this as its a fairly new machine ... :(

Cheers Steve

Where are you based pal?? I know I have a spare gun, hose and push in lance in my shed doing nothing

Edit: just looked and it's a screw thread hose, sorry
I'm in Northern Ireland mate!!! But big thanks for the offer. I'm going to try and screw out the push on connection in Ian's advise and if that works I will have threads... :) Steve

Pic of connection on the actual washer were the hose blows of. Think the little spring just gives when you turn on the water. Should this screw out fairly easy, just I don't want to put alot if pressure on it and break even more! Cheers
