Ceramic

A source of much head scratching recently.

Our kitchen tap buzzes noisily when the upstairs bathroom taps are running water, Seems to be linked to the ceramic valve in the hot tap so I'm intending to replace it as it is now ~5 years old. This is the new one waiting to go in ... if only I could get the handle to release from the old one. Stuck onto those splines top left.   Up at the soft faced hammer stage now :-)
