Shower - single-lever mixer tap. slight drip?

We have a mobile home and the shower has a single lever mixer, you know the type, move lever to adjust temp and also on/off position. I am unsure how to get the lever off, there is a slight drip coming from the underside,a washer is worn or something it could be that. Any ideas how I can do this please?
Many thanks

Under the tap there should be a small plastic cap. Gently remove this (a knife blade should do the trick) You'll need a small hexagonal allen key which you insert into the hole to undo the tap lever. The lever should then pull off easily to expose the inner parts of the tap. You may find that there is a small piece of grit inside which is causing the drip. Clean out the tap body and re-assemble.
