OP,
Thanks for the pics.
Why not post a pic of the external cover?
Am I right in thinking that the incoming mains water is going up to the stop-tap?
Are you sure that nothing has been Tee'd off the incoming mains before it enters the sink unit?
When the external isolator is closed then remove & replace the compression internal stop-tap.
The general layout of the sink unit plumbing is poor.

The sink unit was here when I arrived 10 years ago - today's plumber verified that that is indeed the main isolating tap, it will eventually be replaced.
