what i needed today was an excuse

and with the offending drippy taps disassembled i had one. what luck, my long run route goes right past B&Q!

with light fading and temperature dropping again i took it easy along familiar roads and along the long straight track of yesterday.

I guess i was a unique sight in B&Q puzzling over an infinite range of identical looking tap washers and o-rings, eventually i was able to get on my way again for a short blast back to home.

not only do the taps not drip anymore, but in the random way of DIY it seems to have cured the hydraulic hammer problem with the hot tap too. Nothing in DIY is ever straight-forward, usually simple but never straight-forward.
