leave the pole as itis and call gardiners and explain your not happy and you want a new one!

mine is wearing.will a fishing shop have something more suitable to lubricate with? I tried putting the hose externally,but it drove me mad flapping about and kept coming undone at the t piece supplying the brush head

Yes I had forgotten about the pole hose regularly coming adrift from the Y piece.  I resolved that by using a slightly fatter pole hose and pusing it further onto the barb of the  piece.  I got it from B and Q.  It still comes adrift very occasionally (once per week or less) but that's no problem.  Yes I agree that there is more scope for getting in a tangle with external pole hose.  Weighing everything up, I have decided that extra tangles is an acceptable trade off for reduced pole wear.  Not everybody would agree.  It just depends on what you're prepared to tolerate.

What's with the need for knots and tape. Just zip a zip tie round the top to hold the hose in place.

Why is it some people are showing wear on the SLX and others arent?
is the wear due to having the hose inside the pole? I really think not, otherwise there would be more people having this problem.
