you can get a service kit for these (i think) that will have new o rings and washers in the kit.

You don't prise anything off it all comes apart by undoing bits.

If you want the manual send me an email, it's in my profile

hi, how do I get your profile? I have a similar problem and could do with the manual also.

any idea if you can fit a pump to increase the power of the shower?

Thanks

The nob should pull off to get to stuff and yes you can fit a pump to them but I suggest getting the high pressure hand set as you will get a lot better shower.

Plumb center do em for about £20-30

Thanks for the advice, but I am a plumbing novice!

I have taken the front dial off, took the circlip off the spline, but there is no movement, should I just apply a bit of pressure to get the rest off?

Cant find much info on the power handset thingy, could you point me in the right direction?

Cheers

The large flow control knob pulls off.

As for the pump the the pressure should be between 1 and 2 bar max, after which you need to fit an Dereve 7052/4 water pressure governor.

Doitall I had a Mira 88 and it worked fine on mains pressure so are you sure about what you are saying.
My understanding is that they will cope with mains like the Excell or Combiforce.
