Yes, I saw the under chassis nozzle and put both in the basket. But then realised that shipping for one nozzle is £1.40; for 2 nozzles it's £5.95!
So I got a call from them to explain that the 'system' automatically swithces to a dearer postage method for more valuable shipments because of the increased risk of financial loss. So I suggested that I placed 2 orders, each at a shipping cost of £1.40. He agreed and said they'd probably get packed and shipped together anyway! Is it me?

If you plan on using patio cleaner I suggest to buy lance extension: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1409224619...84.m1423.l2649

Thanks - I'll give it a try with the standard lance first though - these accessories are costing almost as much as the pressure washer!

I think I might've bought my Nilfisk from those guys - remember the postage was a bit strange!

I have not tried car washing nozzle but the one that comes with washer is good enough for me, it's adjustable pressure so what else do you need. I suppose under chassis nozzle could come in handy but I would probably go for angle attachment instead and use that with regular nozzle to get under car. That way you have a choice of regular or rotary nozzle to use for under car cleaning. I did clean slabs in back yard with the standard lance and patio cleaner but it is too short and uncomfortable to use even for me not being a tall men. I will definitely buy extension for cleaning driveway at the front.

Right, the new toy has arrived! A Nilfisk C-125.
But reading throught the instructions (not really a man thing, I know! ), I'm not clear as to how any kind of detergent is applied (for car or patio). I get the snow foam applicator thing, but what if you want to use the car wash brush (not on my car, of course!) or use a detergent on the patio? The instructions only recommend connecting a hose as the input, but can you use a bucket with detergent solution in it?

Mine is a bit different model C120 but on mine the only way to apply any detergents is with foam sprayer. From my past experience you do not really want a detergent constantly added while washing. If the concentration is low it does not have any effect, if concentration is high you go through huge amounts of detergent very quickly. I just spray detergent in decent concentration on with foam sprayer, leave it to work for a while then wash off with plain water and the attachment of choice.
Pressure washers with built in tank have the convenience of filling it up and just turning it on and off when needed but when I bought mine I knew C120 does not have it and it's not an issue for me.
