    you would be best to buy a drain hose they cost about £5, cut your hose before the leak (w/m side) then use a jubilee clip and small piece of 22mm pipe to connect it to the new house with another jubilee clip. either that or get a w/m engineer out to replace it.

    provided the leak is does not have waste water sitting in it you will fix it very simple. I actually used a bicycle tube and glue and a jubliee clip as above although next time i would prob use silicone.

    Having said that i only done a temp fix and as suggested above i bought a new tube....

    If you go around the back of power city just tell the lads you left your washing machine in the other day and need the tube to extend the new one and you will recycle one for free.
