15mm speedfit tee plus pipe insert and the smallest piece of plastic pipe or just take the tee and pipe off the hot side that your not using,(make sure the pipe isn’t live first else you will get wet)put it on the cold side then connect the blue washing machine pipe to that

Thank you!

I removed the tee & pipe from hot side but can’t seem to push/screw it back onto to cold (or back on to hot!) any tips for that?

Did you remove it properly as they should just push on (push fit) it’s hard to explain it but the bit on the tee that screws should be screwed up tight. The little plastic circle at the top should just push in,whilst that is pushed in you can pull the plastic pipe out.just swap it over.(if you have taken it off properly then just do it in reverse to put it back on.the one on your cold side wasn’t screwed up fully either

All done now, brilliant thanks for the advice!
Little drip coming from it now water back on but will get my boyfriend to tighten it when he’s back from work :)
 
You can tighten them by hand which will be tight enough.Also make sure the pipe is pushed in fully.The leak should stop if tightened properly and pipe pushed in properly.
Thank you, I’ll get him to check as soon as he’s back. It’s only a small drip so I’ve put a bowl underneath but he’ll sort as soon as he’s back. Thank you so much for your help
