Hi. I have the above shower and it constantly drips water from the shower head. I have read somewhere that it could be the solenoid valve. Does that sound right? If it is that, is it an easy(ish) job to replace? Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Thanks

change the solenoid valve take you 10 mins.
Thanks for your reply. Sorry for being thick but had a look at a diagram and is the solenoid valve the same as the flow control valve or is it the start/stop valve? Alternatively, it could be neither of these!!!! lol
Also, have you any idea where I can get one from? Had a quick look about and can't find one.

how old is your shower ?
is it newer than 2004 or older ?

if you remove the front cover and it has all the internals in a black cover its not fixable as these showers have what is called a shower engine and you can only replace the complete unit.
