I interpreted that as meaning that there was a fault with the original fitting!
But I also meant to imply that as well as a new fitting it really needed 25mm to be cut off each tube as well. I leave some slack when fitting plastic pipes for just that. But John as a poorly paid apprentice may not have done!

Yes, I would have liked to have trimmed the pipes back a bit but "John" didn't leave me enough slack
Well, fingers crossed all will be well. I'm using the other bathroom now to fully test the new connector before I fix the ceiling again.
