I just thought I should report the outcome of my tap problem. After opening it up again, the first thing that was evident was a circling that was in the correct position but seemed to be loose. A quick poke made it fall out of its groove and on inspection it was badly worn. I do not have any spare circlips so I spent about four pounds on a selection box full. The replacement was in position a few minutes after the box arrived. The result is an almost perfect operation, not perfect due to some other worn thread as some of you suggested. Here are a few images of the bits involved. Thanks everyone. View AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentGlad to see you solved it when you took it apart. The problem manifested itself with the same symptoms as a loose washer ie the other end of the rotating block. The outcome is the same. Always worth taking such things apart to quickly get the correct solution.

p.s I did take the tap unit apart clean it up and added some ptfe tape for good measure but it did not work and still leaked and as you said knocking out the water for a couple of hours whilst fiddling just annoys the OH and then it becomes your problem on an item you hardly ever use...
