They certainly do. Only yesterday on the Facebook Suzuki forum somebody was complaining of this very problem 😳

Quote from Peter Norrish on November 10, 2020, 1:04 pm@mcrdave23 from memory it was standard garden hose that would fit all the Hozelock type stuff, I believe it's 1/2 inch internal diameter. The width of the bit I cut was roughly 15mm, but I had plenty of hose so there was a bit of trial and error. Hope that helps!

Quote from Mcrdave23 on November 15, 2020, 9:28 pmWe had a go at this today with the method you recommended and it worked a treat! Only thing is we couldn't find the right size washer so part 2 will be to fit one to take out the left / right slack. Got us back on the road though so just wanted to say cheers again.

Quote from Lauren Wheatley on December 28, 2020, 10:34 pmHi, currently having the same problem, only being honest I don’t really know what I’m doing. I’m going to have a go tomorrow, just got a couple questions if you could possibly give a little clarification. I have a bushing repair kit and understand it’s usually one of two that need replacing, one of them that is accessed through the engine bay and the other on the gear box, in the instance it is the one on the gear box can I access this from inside the car or does it need taking out from underneath? Thanks for your help.
