My Dorf flickmixer over the kitchen sink keeps dripping. Can I get a replacement cassett for it. If I can How do I get the lever handle off to replace it. I did ask a Plumber and he didn't know.

There is an allen key under the flickmixer handle. Undo that and the handle will lift off. Remove the chrome cap, and under that will be a brass nut. You will need a pipe wrench or 12" spanner. Gently undo this and the cassette will be in the chamber of the tap. Lift it out and buy a new one. Reverse all of the above to put it back together. If it does not have a cassette i.e. Dorf 1 or 2 flickmixer, there are replacement washer and seal kits available.
Then write to Dorf and tell them to but a damned instruction sheet on their web site. I had exactly the same problem trying to fix mine i.e. no info is available from Dorf themselves.
Cheers

The handle usually has cap with a makers badge on it.Its a matter of levering this cap badge off and finding the hold down screw underneath and unscrewing.Some caps with be stuck to the innards-maybe some lube in thru the screw hole ? - use more caution and less brute force.
A good move is turning off the water supply first.
