There seems to be a lot online about how unreliable these sprung loaded mechanisms are.

I've one of these and it's refusing to click down. I'm not a plumber but I've got it out in the hope of repairing it. The screw just seems to hold in the moving part and tightening it doesn't seem to make any difference. It's about three years old and wasn't gunged up. Is there anything else I can do apart from buying a new one?

Thanks
 
new one looks like the ones in city plumbing
 
Check the rubber seal, I worked on a site who had a bad batch, the rubber seal absorbed water and caused it to expand, often causing the plug to get stuck in the plughole. If it expanded to much maybe causing it not push in all the way.
 
Thanks for the advice. Tried WD40, but my guess is a spring has gone somehow.
 
No grit or a bit of muck? I normally just screw it out and chuck a new one in.
