It is best to have two complete lances.
a 'fan' and a turbo.
Use quick release fittings and changing them over is simple

You'll need a spanner and a vice ideally as they are put on very tightly.

Where are you from?

Try contacting your nearest hydraulic hose repair centre. They usually stock pressure washing lances too. If not they could just change it over for you.

Just tell them what you have told us.

It's a 1 minute job. (If you have the right tools and you know what you're doing)
I bet they'll be open at 8am

I dont know about that company in particular, but the two nearest to me do. i'm sure they will sell hoses though.

hope it goes well  :)
