Loads of posts on the dripping shower heads on the forum but I thought I'd provide a photo to see if it would help me get to the source of the irritation.
I have a Mira Discovery - Concentric Mixer shower running off the combi boiler. It drips every few seconds..pretty much all of the time when the shower is not in operation. The issue has only start in the last 6 or 7 weeks. The shower is not that old but I am unable to give a precise date of installation as we actually moved in ourselves in January 2013.
Having searched on this forum a little I realise a replacement shower head or hose is not going to solve the problem.
The Mira website under fault diagnosis for water leaking from the showerhead suggests the following:
I'm not sure how relevant this is but the noise from the cold water tap from the sink is like a whistle and the bathroom flush is like a Boeing 747.. It may be some sort of pressure issue but how to be sure??
I disconnected the the hose that feeds straight into a pipe in the tiles as picture below to get a start of what goes where and what may need replacing.
I'm not even sure what this connection is or if the problem lies behind or within the actual mixer itself?
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Check that the pressures are not in excess of the specifications for product.
Normal for a short period after shut off.
Cartridge Inlet Seals damaged - renew.
Renew the Thermostatic Cartridge.
