Once disturbed, the bottom hoses can be a pain for staying reliable again.
A new hose is around £30 from Pug.

As for a decat, Devil are a good make if you can find one second hand as they don't make them anymore, same goes for Magnex.

You can, but if the hose is old and the end of it is in bad condition that it will not seat correctly and will continue to leak.
