Hi there just had van out and when running the water the tap in the toilet room leaks from underneath,Had a look up and it seems to be coming from the inside of the base of the tap,The van is an abbey 2004 model, the tap is a micro switch kind, any help and any advice on renewing the tap would be appreciated
many thanks
Tim

could very well be just the rubber washer, bit of a job getting in to it but i done it with a 90 degree screw driver, only prob i had was getting the correct size rubber washer so in the end i used a thicker washer just makes turning the tap on a little harder, but will change when i find the correct washer lol. mine are whale taps.
good luck. welshwiz
