Replacing the water tap

[AJQ]

The water tap over the sink on our late 2019 ocean broke recently - the rotating tap lever came away from the fixing and the inside was broken so it couldn't be mended. I've looked at previous threads but this is a different problem - it's the tap lever that's broken not the water pipe bit and it won't just push back on, the plastic inside is broken in such a way that it no longer works.

We've ordered a replacement from the shop, my question is has anyone here replaced the tap unit themselves and if so was it straightforward and fairly obvious how to do it? Especially the electrical connection. Any advice welcome. Thanks!

Very easy its just plug n play with a connector that pulls apart

Brilliant thank you

Having the ability to stand on your head does help

Hi, thought I'd add a quick update - thanks for your encouragement, we've now replaced the tap. It was relatively straightforward/obvious, just a bit tricky to get at. The only hard bit was getting the plastic nut off the old one but we found a friend with a sink wrench which did the trick.

My local Campervan dealer provided an alternative tap, a third the price and so far just as good. Fitting very straightforward.
