Dripping tap - not as simple as the YouTube gurus suggest

Have a dripping tap. Looked at numerous online video gurus to see how to change the washer, but none of the taps were like the ones i have. Finally worked out to remove the tap to see what size washer i need, but confronted with the attached. What do i need for this to stop the dripping?
Thanks

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

"Dripping tap - not as simple as the YouTube gurus suggest"This is because the real gurus are on this forum, not posting videos on YouTube.
