The little blue tap is constantly dripping , even when the nipple is pushed in it still drips. Can I update the whole system or just fix it ? I'm pretty handy with my hands , cheers

Normally the large white piece can by unscrewed and the valve inside it replaced ( probably split ). Valve is approx £1 in B&Q. :thumbright:
