I have a hosepipe. I have a tap in my garden.

Tap is like this: but it is NOT threadedhttp://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/251749/2/istockphot...

Therefore I bought one of these to attach to the tap. It fits the tap
perfectlyhttp://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detai...

I then attached one of these to the hose tap endhttp://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servle...

When I connect them 2 bits together they fit together but water leaks out
between them... am i I doing it right?

I spose even if I had a threaded tap I would use one of these connectors,
but I would still get a leak because they conenct in the same way??

On the other end of the hose I have another one of the things above attached
to one end of the hose and a spray gun (both of those are the cheap Homebase
ones and work fine).

As your links dont work for me, I am adding this one to show the type
of conector you need for an unthreaded tap.

This type worked for years for me with very little trouble, just dont
turn the tap on to full as the back pressure WILL blow the hose off
the tap.
