slow running cold tap?

Difficult to say with out seeing them, but if the cold is tank fed then it could be air locked. You can try placing a hose pipe from your basin cold tap onto the mixer tap, (you may have to warm the ends to make them fit) open the mixer cold first (keep the hot side closed) and then open the basin cold tap. The pressure usually forces air out of the pipe. Do this for two minutes and see if it works. If the taps are cold mains fed then they are knackered and need replacing.
