On our mixer tap the knob you pull up to transfer water to the shower has got very tight,yesterday I put WD40 on it and it became loose, job done or so I thought. This morning it was as bad as ever and was very difficult to pull up. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is. :?:

Could be the rubber washer is degrading and becoming sticky. You'll have to dismantle it to see I'm afraid
 
To dismantle it I guess I would have to remove the mixer completly from the water supply.:( do you agree.

Not sure - you may be able to remove the top section while leaving the tap in place. A picture would help, if possible.

Thanks Dextrous, It's just a plunger between the taps,cannot see any means of removing it.I think I'll take a look at a similar one in shop to see if it's accessible from underneath.
