Our Sink mixer tap has come loose on our 14.44. Pulled a couple of drawers out to see how it was secured underneath but cant see anything, just the 2 hoses going up into the hole for the tap in the bench.
Can anyone shed some light, do i need to remove the whole sink to sort this out?

When mine come loose I found the nut was loose just tightened it up with a 10mm tube socket then put a nyloc nut on it as well to stop the bugger coming loose again.

Pick up a set of these from the big green shed. Will make your life easier. Had to do the same with ours, a pain to get to though.

Common problem, the one in our Panda came loose also, thought was going to have to remove sink also which is a mongrel of a job, manage to tighten enough with some open ender, till it got done properly at service

Ok thanks. I thought i had a pretty good look up under the sink where it goes through but couldn't see any sign of a retaining nut, might have to look a bit harder by the sounds of it.
