Hi, got a dripping kitchen mixer tap want to fix. Can't work out how to get cartridge out, not seen anything like the one we have on internet.
Please see attached. Any idea?!

The blue nylon section will unscrew, just the same as any brass insert and all the cartridge will come out.
 
I came across something very similar a few months ago, plastic valves if it's the one I think it is. Couldn't source new valves locally so ended up with a new tap.
If you undo the screw holding the white plastic part on you should be able to pull that plastic part off and see the valve.
 
Have you tried unscrewing this bit first?

Can't unscew that, that is actually the hole where the screw goes that holds the tap cover on.
