Hi there was interested in the kitchen tap where you said you'd removed the screw. Mine's very similar but the hole is so small it's hard to see inside. Is it a normal crosshead screw or allen type or what?Hi all,
I am trying out DIY plumbing on some of the leaking pipes but I have run into problems dismantling the taps further. Any ideas/suggestions will be very, very much appreciated. Cheers.
Tap 1 - Toilet tap
If I supposed to pry open the "Lubben" button, how do I do so when there's hardly any groove on which I can pry?

Tap 2 - Toilet tap
I removed the screw as indicated, but was unable to dismantle the tap further.

Tap 3 - Bathroom Tap
When the tap was turned on, a considerable amount of water flowed from the outlet as indicated by the arrow. When I pulled up the diverter as much as I could, the unwanted water flow reduced by quite a lot, but there was still water flow at the arrow. So is it a problem with the tap cartridge or diverter cartridge?

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to remove the handle or the diverter. In any case, I tried removing the handle and wasn't able to proceed further. I wasn't able to twist the golden component.

OK cheers will try and take a look. Problem is that I've got the worktop below and at the back so hard to get a good look at it! Reckon a little dentist's mirror would be perfect!Normally a small slot head as other types can get filled with gunk, you really need to try and get a look at it to be sure though.

Have tried but it's quite deep inset so light doesn't show exactly what it is. But I've discovered from a bit of research that the grub screw is a 2 mm Allen fitment. At least for Franke taps, even though I can't remember my exact model. Weirdly, the drip only happens on and off so will wait until it gets pretty bad.Try and take a mobile phone pic with macro?
