If yours has gone this way, it will almost certainly need a new o - ring, and they are an odd size, being slightly thicker than standard ones.

I have now replaced all of my fittings, but still use the now 9 year old pressure washer. Slowly replacing various components to 1/4" quick release fittings and heavy duty lance. Almost certainly you will not need new lance, or accessories, but rather the o-rings and locking fitting, like this

If you plan to change the accessories, I would advise looking for alternative. Often the same price, or cheaper, but normally better quality than the Karcher offerings.

eg Clean Tec
