Some usefull advice on here tonight, many thanks. I have not used the shower for over a year, just been having baths, but I work with insulation so I really want the shower sorted and working. Nothing worse than coming home covered in fibreglass then lying in it in the bad. I have no plans at...

There might be one, I will look and photo it all tomorrow and put pics up. We did have an old style fuse that blew, I got sick of changing the fuse wire, so bought a MCB one so when it was tripping I could just flick it back into position rather than getting out the fuse wire. I am not sure...
