most mod vans have swivel mixer taps which are held in place with a 27mm dirty white plastic nut or 33mm black plastic nut. the h&c pipes are held in with a o" and plastic lock pin which pushes in between the pipes through the threaded spigot on the bottom of the tap the micro switch wires join by plastic connectors the type wear you push in wire and tighten down screw on to wire
the end of h&c pipes about 6ins long are then connected to re-enforced plastic pipe with jubilee clips. if difficult to get at remove drawn/ shelves in cupboard under sink failing that disconnect drain from sink remove sink 4 screws rubber seal washers lift out work through hole were sink was write down where hot pipe goes in bottom of tap & which is live wire new tap wires might not be red&blue some come with two black wires one with white trace line negative wire. if cannot pullout pipe lock pin because of retaining nut. slack nut let drop down pipes remove pin pull pipes down out of tap fit in reverse order check for leaks before refitting sink using washing up basin to catch water from tap good luck once you have done it youll think that was easy peasy
