They suggested this one. Is it just a case of undoing from the red arrow and do you need to do anything to that clip indicated with a black line. Thanks

Tried that already this was the last resort, if anyone had come across. I can't see a cartridge/fitting that looks like this. My search show 2 different kind of valves
