Hi, I have an Abbey spectrum 545 of 2007. The swivel mixer tap in the kitchen has started to leak from the very bottom of the swivel spout, right above the bezel which sits on the worktop. I've watched all the videos on youtube about how to repair them but they all seem to deal with the cartridge which usually causes leaks above the swivel. I did find a video on repairing a domestic tap of similar design and it had 2 O rings which stopped the swivel from leaking but I'm unsure if they are fitted on caravan taps. So, has anyone had this type of leak and managed to repair it please.

If you undo the clamp underneath the worktop holding the tap so you can raise it a little,you will find the bottom of the tap can be screwed clockwise, upwards when holding top of tap.This will tighten the seal on the swivel.Had to do this a few weeks ago on our three year old van for the same reason.Make sure when you tighten tap clamp up again that you hold top of tap firm so that it does not turn in the worktop or it will undo the bottom section again.
