    Quick update - have just spoken to my plumber and he said to buy a new shower as hes not heard of this happening before but gave me the telephone number of Triton to give them a call tomorrow and see if they can offer any advise.

    Just thought i'd let you all know i had a shower this morning and went to leg it downstairs to turn the water off from the stop !!!! when hey presto no water coming from the shower. Could it be the thump i gave the unit last night that did the trick or i'm wondering if this is just going to be temporary thing. Fingers crossed whatever was wrong has put itself right but thanks for your help and advise anyway.
  • sometimes a bit of grit gets stuck in the workings holding something open, sounds like you flushed it throuugh this morning.

    All advice given by thekid is in good faith but remember these important facts:
    1. I'm lucky enough to live in Scotland(Scots Law may apply)...
    2. My motto is "What's the worst that can happen" you've seen the kids in the Comic Relief clips, is it to that scale? Then get a grip!
    3. It's only money...no really(see #2)
    4. I'm only a plumber... :wink:
