there are places around the net that you can get different colored pipes but how you go about fitting it is a different story as the ends that go into the tank cover are moulded to the pipes.

you could always get some pipe off a Dyson vac, i'm sure the diameter is a bit bigger but could slide it over the existing ones?

LOL I actually saw some of them a few weeks ago!

I know for definite they will sell you your chosen length of hoover tube from a market stall outside the Kingfisher Shopping Centre in Redditch - it's like a hardware type stall selling batteries and watches and all that crap. I'm sure they're all over the place, or maybe we should organise a bulk buy? :smt003

Yup - pretty sure that's the one! Think they're outside WH Smith but kind-of more down towards the Town Hall, if that makes sense?
