Thanks Phillip. I think all of the answers Paul needs will be in that thread. Paul if there’s anything you want clarifying just ask 👍👍 |

So i had a change of mind in the end on the pressure washer as i decided to go with the one in Philips link which i thought was a good price. I was able to cancel the Ebay one i had linked to and was getting until i saw that one :TU: It arrived this morning and it is heavy, heavier than i thought it was going to be for some reason :yes: Anyhoo i have been searching high and low for a foam gun replacement for it and have been told that THIS one will fit but seems expensive as i think Charlie somewhere said they are all the same and the one he had linked to was about £20 if i remember right, but i think this is the same gun that Philip linked to. So do i go with this gun as i say it is the only one i can find that will fit the Nilfisk. |

You just need the right adaptor to connect it to the lance / gun on your pressure washer. I have to admit to making the adaptor that connects my Krazle snowfoam gun to my Nilfisk pressure washer - but it does work perfectly!

I've got the Autobrite one but if you want to save a few pennies (if they really are all the same) here's one for £30 by the time you've specified the Nilfisk / Alto connector - CYC Snow Foam LanceAs three5 says, it's just a question of specifying (or building) the right connector ...  Edit: or from Amazon: Snow Foam Lance Nilfisk Compaitble (sic) |

Cheers Chris that's what i thought but after contacting a few sellers about the guns they said that particular gun won't fit, but the seller i linked to was more helpful and said the Autobrite one will fit the Nilfisk fitting for that particular washer model, so might just go with that one :TU: |

Remember the guns barring colour are the same 👍 |

Remember the guns barring colour are the same 👍 ... and 5L Magifoam direct from Autobrite Direct would cost you £29 ... ? ... 21st century pricing is weird! As for guns being the same, the vast majority say "made in China". Autobrite claim that theirs is "Hand made in Italy, not mass produced in China" ... though that doesn't mean that they are not simply assembled in Italy from components mass produced in China! Who knows ... |

Thanks Charlie :TU: The ebay seller is selling the Magifoam HERE at that price so bought separately would be £69.99. I do like the sound of that gun and has been proven by Philips usage so seems to be a good one :TU: |

Who knows ... I think Autobrite charge delivery ? Ive stripped cleaned and repaired quite a few of the lances over the years. They are all the same. Ive no problem at all if folk prefer to spend more money it’s entirely their choice. 👍👍👍 |

Next time hopefully i will be using the washer for the first time so that should be interesting having never used one before to wash a car  |

Or you’ll be stripping the wax again. 👍 |
