Water leaking from electric shower unit

[cream69]

Hi there! Had the shower installed about 5 years ago,no problems,
then yesterday water started leaking from the bottom of the actual unit itself. I've isolate the electricity supply to the shower just to be on the safe side.It's a Triton Bezique 10.5kw.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I had a similar problem with my Mira Sport shower last year. After getting a shower and turning the water off, I got out of the shower and started to have a shave in the sink. All of a sudden, there was a noise and water started gushing from the bottom of the unit. After a bit of investigating and advice, it turned out to be the flow valve. Ordered the new part and installed it using the instructions provided. After 15 minutes of work, turned on the shower and it was sorted. Sounds like the flow valve. I'm no expert. Just telling of a similar problem and how I cured it.

Hi!, thanks for the prompt reply. I opened
the unit this morning turned the shower on
and then quickly off and the water seems to
be seeping from the stabilizer valve assembly fig.11.
Theres water dropslets on top edge of the valve assembly dripping down.

Looks very similar to the part that needed replacing in my Mira Sport.
The part I replaced is on the diagram below (part 416.54)

Something had made the back of the flow valve crack.
I can't remember where I ordered my part from but http://www.showerdoc.co.uk have them.
When I replaced the flow valve in my shower unit, it was a bit fiddly but from start to finish, it took me about 30 minutes.
