Looks as if the female thread in the housing has broken off. Not repairable so replace it.

You can test with a magnet. Magnets don't stick to copper but they are attracted to the magnetite sludge that builds up inside the pipes. If you have areas where the magnet sticks to the pipe, its an indication of problems.

Certainly not correct. Each cistern should have its own overflow to the outside. You can combine them together to sort your immediate problem. F&E should not be hot although its common for it to be discoloured. Sounds like the system is pumping over. This is usually caused by a blockage or...

Inlet strainers should be just behind the screw on connectors (can't remember for certain but that makes sense). Obvs turn water off at isolators beforehand.

In that case, stick a new shower in.

You could glue it in but, to be honest, I would replace the whole bar valve. They are not too expensive and switch over is quick and simple.

Probably won't work but no way to be sure except for trying it. Why doesn't the original work? If its stuck, it should be possible to dismantle, clean and lubricate.

Gonna need a bit more info on the shower. A pic might help.

Must admit I was thinking the same. If you want a really cheap solution, you could walk upstairs at 9.30 and turn the rads on.

Many taps are designed for high pressure water and give poor flow on gravity hot water. If you have an aerator on the tap spout, have you checked it isn't partially blocked with scale or other debris.

As already mentioned, if you have 3 bar incoming pressure you should still have 2.3 bar at a height of 7m. There will be a little extra pressure loss due to resistance of pipes and fittings but there will still be more than enough pressure for a good shower. If you have poor flow, the problem...

Well you clearly know best. Obviously the water regs are there to restrict your freedom to do what the hell you like and not to help ensure adequate supply and water quality for everyone. If you are looking for validation for breaking the rules, you're in the wrong place.

Not backflow FROM your house. In theory you could be pulling water from a main which has no pressure in it. This could lead to backflow into the main from elsewhere. The water regulations have to take into account possible risks even if you think they are unlikely.

Probably fitted thousands. Sadly not all outlets are protected and leaks on the main certainly aren't. When you install your shower pump are you going to go round to all your neighbours and ensure every outlet is protected.

3 bar at ground level would still be giving you 2.3 bar at a height of 7m. Should be adequate for a decent shower. If the flow from the shower is poor, it is more likely to be restrictive pipes and fittings and not lack of pressure. As for pumping off the main, you run the risk of reducing the...

It will be detachable from inside the cistern. Usually a twist and lift or a couple of clips. Not sure on that one but, as I remember, the Geberit website has some instructional videos. If you have no luck and have to remove the cistern, replace with a fluidmaster...

You can buy the diaphragms from plumbers merchants. Usually need a bit of trimming to size. Or as Andy says, make up from suitable plastic sheet.
