Triton Alicante shower. Replaced solenoid and still no water

[JohnHuson]

The water valve I suspect is faulty as I have replaced the solenoid. If I take out the valve the sprung loaded seal will lift if I blow through it and will move if I hold a strong magnet against it. When the water pressure is applied the valve will not open with the solenoid detached with the magnet, or attached with power applied.
I have a live feed accross both solenoid contacts. I have also taken out a new solenoid from a Triton power shower to test it but no joy
Any ideas please?

what do you mean you have live across both solenoid terminals ?

Any ideas please?

are you testing it on the proper shower terminals or your own ?
have you done a resistance test on the solenoid valve ?

when in position and switched on I get a live on both terminals with my neon tester. When testing the resistance it returns what is best described as around 75% on the meter, the same on both solenoids I tested. Thanks for your help

My meter reads from 100 on the left to zero on the right. The measurement it produces is 4. Hope that helps. If you can imagine the sweep of a windscreen wiper it goes 70% of the travel.
