The soil/vent pipe termination is too close to the windows. I can't see whether the vent pipe is open or has a durgo on the top. I suspect that smell is coming in the window. Other possibilities are that the sink overflow is sludged up and smelly or that the trap is getting pulled when the sink...

The PRD is on the back of the outlet. Remove the two screws on the left hand side of the white outlet pipe. This should allow you to remove or at least rotate the outlet to get to the PRD. I assume you've got the power off by this stage.

The Siamp fill valve probably needs a new washer. https://www.screwfix.com/p/arctic-hayes-siamp-diaphragm-washer-29mm/5006j You will need to turn the water off to do this. The washer is located under the knurled ring at the front of the valve. Pay special attention to the position of the short...

On closer inspection of your 1st photo, there appears to be a significant crack in the cistern running down from the back left hand corner. I would check this out and watch out for it leaking. It may be though that due to the back to wall design, you may not notice a leak.

Its a Siamp Optima 49 flush valve. It's a twist and lift out replacement. TBH, I wouldn't bother turning the water off to do the job as it will just run away into the pan while the valve is out. Those back to wall pans are a pet hate of mine. There is no way to monitor condition of connectors or...

The fitting manufacturers will have data sheets which will give the required distances.

Don't think I've ever changed the washer on a fluidmaster fill valve. Not worth the faff as the replacement valves are cheap. For future reference and hopefully won't be too frustrating given what you've been through, but these fill valves can be changed without draining the cistern. Turn water...

To stop people dying from cholera or a host of other water borne diseases.

The PRD is on the outlet. When you reduce the flow rate before the PRD as you do when turning down the flow control, there will be little or no change to the pressure acting on the PRD. A blocked or restrictive shower head is slowing the flow after all the internal components including the PRD...

Its just the disc seal that needs replacing. Can't imagine there is much of a demand for second hand shower heads however great the reviews are but go for it. Triton showers are ok but they are the cheaper end of the market and you get what you pay for. I fit lots in rented properties and really...

https://www.showerdoc.com/mira-gem-88-exposed-shower-spares Hopefully that's the correct model. If not, exploded diagrams should be on the showerdoc.com spares pages.

No need for washers. Use enough PTFE tape on the thread so that it is tight as it screws in. Stop when the tap is vertical just before it runs out of thread. If it screws in too easily, remove and add a few more turns of tape.

Honeywell quality isn't what it used to be but probably still better than the rest.

Possibly slightly mis-aligned. slacken off all the other joints in the vicinity then make sure the suspect joint is properly aligned and tighten that first. Firm hand tight should be enough. Tighten all other joints and test.

Replace the PRD. You can get one from Triton or showerdoc.com or other places. Throw the filter shower head in the bin. Make sure the original shower head is descaled and put it back on. Triton showers aren't great to be honest but its not their fault if you fit an aftermarket part that isn't...

But is the tap still upside down?

It won't be a left hand thread so should just screw back in. If it won't, just replace the tap. That ones upside down anyway. Looks like that tap has check valves incorporated so get one the same. Less than a tenner from Screwfix.

Think you're going to have to change the whole valve.

That valve not available but it looks like toiletspares.co.uk can supply a replacement with a 50mm push button. https://www.toiletspares.co.uk/replacement-rapide-flush-valve-with-round-button.html

Is that flexi pan connector set in the concrete slab? Major **** up. Got to come out really. You say "they" used the pan connector so at least its not your fault. Building control certainly won't be happy with it.
