I bought a set (hot and cold) of Bristan quarter-turn valves from Plumb Centre almost exactly three years ago and this morning I noticed that the cold tap was dripping ~very~ slightly. After a while it stopped. Later, I turned on the cold again to fill the kettle, but it didn't drip after switching it off this time.
A little spec of grit, maybe? How long are these valves supposed to last?
