I have a leaking Reich water tap.

Its a fold down mixer( microswitch not wired).

I have checked out spares but they are pricey.So would it be better to replace the tap not cheap)rather than changing parts of it.

I am unable to find any installation instructions anywhere for these taps.

Any advice would be appreciated as we are due to use the van over Xmas

Many thanks for the replies.

I have found a source for replacement(in my local dealer would you believe)

I have looked at this tap- its in the bathroom to work out how it is fitted.

There is a large black plastic back nut i dont know the size of this nut.

There appear to be  2 flexible connectors held in by what looks like spring clips.

I would appreciate any tips to change this tap birdman

Many thanks JTQU and all who offered advice.

I have now sussed out the existing tap and compared it with the new one.

These taps dont appear to have the stainless steel pin shown on yours but the

underside is otherwise identical.

I cant move the back nut by hand but i have a small stilson wrench that may fit.

I will try the tap when we are away to try and trace where the service person said it

leaked.I cant see any crack or fault anywhere.If it leaks i will replace it.

Cheers

Terry
