    Squealing when running hot tap or gas shower etc

    I'm not sure if the cold water incomming pressure has increased I don't know how to tell but I havent noticed anything.

    20yr old Mira415 surface mounted shower leaking from control

    Should I already have a service kit because I don't have one? If I have to buy one would I still be able to get one for this as its 20 years old? Its strange that they name new models 415 aswell. Where would I get a kit from and is it an easy job?
