If you need a longer flexi hose to do as per my original suggestion, you can get a short one and add to it.

Ha! That doesn't surprise me at all.

Purchased house in 99.
The dishwasher replaced first and the sink later.

The good lady wife accountant has declined getting a plumber.

I've run out of energy, patience and interest.

I'm gonna put it down for now as suggested my the good lady wife psychologist.

Will return better focused at a later date.
(maybe tomorrow)

Thanks heaps gents.
Really appreciate the continued support.
Absolute champions!
Each and everyone.

Looking forward to getting it sorted.

The unknown fitting that you pictured in post 26, I highly suspect they are an adjustable pressure reducer.
Just swap the one from the cold feed with the one from the hot feed, no need for longer hoses re-routing plumbing or anything difficult.

And if it follows the mystery device you could see if it changes by turning the dial in the end.
