Kitchen tap type ?

[yottie]

Can any-one advise which insert I need to replace to stop this hot tap dripping please.[/img]

No, you'll need to dismantle it and see what you need. Perhaps get a suitable one here http://www.shop.lunns.net/tap-spares-8-c.asp

Because it is a mixer with two inserts you need to be sure which one is the problem! How did you identify it was the hot?

Also you need know if the offending cartridge is clockwise or anti-clockwise to close.

Thanks, I was told by the person in charge of the kitchen (wife !) that it was the hot. On reflection we are now not so sure. Each supply has an isolating valve nearby, is it possible to turn off the suspect supply and see if it stops dripping (could take a long time ?) As you might gather I'm trying to avoid not having a supply while I hunt for the replacement, once identified.

Turning off one isolating valve is an excellent idea and should have an almost immediate effect

Edit: Once you identify the one for sure, you can order your replacement and refit the old one while you wait - I would just leave any cover caps off until a replacement is fitted.
