Just stick the camera underneath looking up at the taps, you should get what I need.

Is it the bendy metal leaking or the tap connector, if the later get a couple of new fiber washers.

Dear Scruff,

Right, I've managed to unscrew the nut that holds the tap onto the bidet. I can't work out how to remove the tap from the bidet. The nut in the middle will not allow the bottom joints through even if I reduced them to minimum. Do I have to cut the pipe?

I've attached photos of top, middle and bottom.

Thanks for all your help.

Simon ::b ::b

The tails unscrew from the body, last pic. There's an o ring washer that seals.

Looking at the green on the fitting the water is dripping down from around the tap at the top where the chrome nut goes.

Because the pipes at the bottom are bent, they are not rotatating easily. Is it possible to get replacement pipes and, if so, what should I ask for?

you can get flexible hoses to replace those...Just be aware they come in different sizes.
Take your old tails to a plumbers merchant to ensure the right size

Dear Scruff,

Huzzah! After last post managed to the f****** off!

Right I am not keen to go through this again. I can obviously replace the O rings but they look OK. Is there anything else e.g PTFE tape or Loctite I could use so this leak is less likely to happen again.

Thanks for all your help.

Simon

The o ring should be all it needs if they're not damaged. if anything use Fernox LS-x on the threads, handy for other stuff as well.

Dear Scruff,

Thanks for all your help. You are a legend :cheers: .

I think it's all sorted now, I don't think there are any more holes that I can fix :lol: .
