A problem with my bathroom basin tap. Turn the tap and nothing happens. On dismantling the top of the tap, I find that the tap head locates onto a plastic connector which then fits onto the brass spindle. The inside of the custom plastic connector is worn and is "slipping" on the spindle.
About the plastic connector -- one end locates to a star-shaped cavity underneath the tap head, the other end locates over the spindle and has grooves inside which match the spindle grooves. The grooves are worn.
Any ideas? Is the star-shaped plastic connector a standard part. If not, I will need to buy another pair of tap heads. The tap is a common round top, rotate to open, type from the 1980s, but with a fancy marble-effect spherical head. I can not turn the brass spindle by hand. Should I be able to do this?
Thanks, Mike
