I think it is just a spare screw, I never thought of that as it really looked like it was part of the mechanism (at least to my untrained eyes!!I've just prised it out, it was tightly jammed in. Thanks everyone, should be able to get it sorted now.

I managed to eventually remove the top of the tap (it was a screw off type). See photo of what's inside. What's the purpose of the thing that looks like an upside down bolt at the side of the main central screw. Never seen this before. Thanks.
