you want to confuse people.

My son has a standard kitchen tap with separate hot and cold valves on
either side of the tap. I took a look at it today because it has
developed a
steady drip.

The valves are ceramic disc with a quarter turn to full off/full on.

I removed each 'cartridge' and took it apart. I could not see any problem
at
all with the ceramic discs they did not appear to be scratched or
damaged,
nor was there any grit present. The various seals were in good condition.

After cleaning and rinsing all components, I put them all back together,
replaced them in the tap and............. drip drip drip!

Anyone any suggestions?
