    Run the shower and listen to what the boiler is doing. If it is firing up and then shutting down, firing up etc etc then it's defo the shower valve.

    How is that defo the shower valve? That could just be a sign that the plate heat exchanger is blocked with debris and its over heating then cooling then overheating again!



    Correct diagnosis in the end ;)

    Probably my fault for opening a second thread when we came to the conclusion it must be the shower that was faulty and as Grohe had confirmed that it was 20 yrs old from the photo I managed to send them, we decided it was time to get a new one and I was asking how to remove the old one.

    Hope that clarifies things a bit :o
