Its the half moon shape, along the vertical edge not a straight line, not that I know what it should look like but looks like half maybe sheared off.

Struggling to loosen the flow nut, but will keep trying. I just noticed this, to me it looks like a broken part, its the outlet for the shower head, any thoughts.

OK thanks.

Flow cartridge I understand not so sure about the thermo cartridge is it that outer nut?

Had issue with shower bar (previous post) , however was cheaper to replace with new shower bar. Now I have taken the Mira off I thought to inspect it hoping to find what the issue was. I am at the stage as per image how do I get the cartridges out, I didnt want to force anything til I got some...

ok thanks, fortunately we have a separate electric shower upstair so I can take my time. Thanks all for the replies.

OK, to replace do I just need to turn water off at the mains to replace it or is there likely another `turn off` at the combi boiler for the hot water.

It is fed from a combi gas boiler (central heating) so not a separate cylinder.

When I turn it on ...nothing no flow. If I leave turned on after maybe 5 minutes it starts to flow slowly then goes to full power but the temperature sometimes fluctuates. Once turned off I can turn it on say an hour later and it flows ok, however if left off overnight I have the same `no flow`...

Any thoughts on how to reattach the shade to base of lamp. The shade looks like glass but I am sure it is some sort of `plastic` with leading. As image shows the shade part at bottom that connects is narrow about 4 cms. so in my opinion weak. There is no other support for the shade. I can't...

Thanks all for the replies. I now understand the logic behind it. Thanks.

Just a question..... In a combi central heating system why does it need to be pressurised as it has a pump to circulate the water? Would this not circulate the water without having pressure?

Not really an issue as I am using a couple of electric fires for now, it was only a test run when discovered it did not `lock out` when it was off. The engineer will be coming back but I am intrigued as to why the cover makes the difference. the engineer does have all the pressure / gas...

Moderators note: Note that this forum does not support DIY gas work. Baxi 100 HE plus combi. Several years old gas boiler. boiler was leaking but working ok, it was the expansion tank and the condensate filter causing leak, he also cleaned out the heat exchanger. After getting fitted (by...
