If it can be done safely then yes. Yes does suggest that or alternatively it might be going out of production and they just want the clear the shelves, having a look at the spec and seeing what price and for how long its been running might assist in giving a clue.

I am not familiar with that particular model but I have fitted a few Tritons and a lot of them are "much of a muchness" . £40 is cheap at a quick glance of between £50 and £85 and if the thermal cut out is £15 and this particular part is fairly easy to fit the 40 to 15 is no contest to me (I...

Just bear in mind that with an Electric shower (and a lot of appliances too) it costs proportionally more to buy individual parts than to but the whole appliance itself and then the cost/trouble of replacing them. Not so much with a thermal cut out I know but with heating elements etc it is...

Yes

Not the best place really! - The worst place is the height of the normal functional switch, I`ve seen plenty of those.

Yes indeed, they sometimes have a little DIL type switch on the circuit board so you can flick the battery on or off. The instruction manual does not seem to give much info.

Yes I think that either 16A (or 15A) MCB but possibly 20A would be the most common or 15A if it was a rewireable fuse (but you could get 20A in rewireable fuses back in the day - not unknown to put more than one fusewire in rewireable fuses by some folk either) and I can not say I have never...

DO NOT have a Neon Screwdriver (but if you dothen never admit it! ;) )

Yes indeed - please do not ask me how "Justice" can be found by getting the cleverest person you can get on your side according to the size of your wallet! LOL.
