    New Whale Elite Tape leaking

    I'm going CRAZY. Just spent best part of £70 on a replacement Whale Elite short spout tap for my bathroom. First one had minor leak with water coming out of a hole in the base where the wires exit. Went back to the local stockist who replaced it for another one. You guessed it, this one leaks...

    Ferry - how do I find out the cheapest 2 weeks in July/Aug 2010
