Leaking Blanco curzon 7500-S ceramic valve mixer tap ?

I have a leaking Blanco curzon 7500-S ceramic valve mixer tap that I tried to disassemble to see if there was limescale buildup on the valve but i wasn't able to take it apart fully. When I gave up and tried to get it working again, the leak was much worse. I have to keep the water off now. Is there anywhere on the web that has clear instructions on how to disassemble the tap? or any other advice?

I had the same problem. Took it apart no problem and cleaned. Works great again.
As I remember there are 2 tabs on the cartridge.
Lift these with a terminal screwdriver, carefully and place all parts on a work surface in the correct order. Clean! I smeared some synthetis grease on and re-assembled.
Fantastic product!!
Hope this helps.

I have exactly the same problem - it seems impossible to get at - it is the second tap I have had in three years - buy a different make
