Hi, can anyone help please?

I have a bar shower as shown in the photo. It’s roughly two years old.

The temperature valve has been getting progressively tighter recently, to the point now where I cannot turn it! However, this is only when I’m in the shower with it turned on. If I turn the shower off then I can turn the dial with no problem.

Because of the on/off situation I know it’s not limescale build up.

The power valve has also started dripping recently as well.

Also… on the temp dial, there’s that little button that I think is meant to stop you turning it too hot accidentally maybe? Well that does nothing! I turn it all the way, then push that button in and I assumed it would go round a bit further, but it doesn’t.

Anyone know what the hell is going on here?

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
