Can anyone point me to a website that shows the construction of them
please? We have 3 that are leaking in one form or another.

Have a look here;
http://www.shop.lunns.net/aqafix-213...dc-59830-p.asp

When the splined top is turned two things happen, one is the white
plastic slot (just above where it says 21.5mm) opens - as does the slot
on the other side.

On the bottom (the blue bit) are two more slot which also open.

Worth soaking the thing in descaler first, if not replace. Not all
plumbers merchants stock them, only one in the Medway Towns (pop
250,000) for instance.

Take the cartridge, the tap top and the screw with you.
