I was lucky and the original upgrade kit for my printer was on offer.It's a complete hotend with bimetal and hardened nozzle. The kit allows printing up to 300 degrees.When it arrives, I will report whether everything is working as it should. Many thanks for your help, I would never have thought that the Teflon tube was the problem.

Just be aware that a hardened steel nozzle might cause problems for normal plastic filament, if it does, just fit a normal brass nozzle.
I believe it's to do with the friction of the hardened steel, anyway just try it first.
Also if you change a nozzle, heat the heater block up by 10-20 degrees above your normal print temps and then tighten the nozzle home, same when removing a nozzle. This is to prevent leaking filament.Last edited by Bikeracer2020; 03-22-2024 at 10:52 AM.
