Kitchen Tap Leak

Not sure what else I can change apart from the cold water valve.

Any idea why the middle spout is still leaking? Is it due to the cartridge?

Damaged o-ring as previously stated?
 
Did you clean inside the tap body until it was shiny clean and then use silicone grease on the new O-Rings, nylon spacer and inside the body? If you have and it's still leaking then it's worn out and the kindest thing is to give it a quiet fling into someone's scrap bag and put a nice new shiny one in ;)

Ahh so that's what all the black stuff was on my hands no I cleaned it all off.

I'm going to take the valve out and use a digital calipar hoping the screw fix ones fit and I'll nip and get them today
 
Honestly mate... Just use the trip to buy a new tap and be done with it! :)

Looks like my kettle has begun to leak...
Am I going to try and repair it?
Am I fe¢k :LOL:

Lol I'm not giving it a new taps going to cost a lot more plus our sink is brushed silver so less options.
 
I'm screwed now as the items not available until next day. Doesn't seem to be a way to isolate the water going to the sink only the main isolation valve which means it cuts it off for the whole of the house
