Cheers for that. I'll assume the cartridge is in the temperature selector and not the valve above?
Once I have the chrome cover plate off I hope to find some isolating valves but if not I think I have them at the pump end.

Yes the bottom valve. The top is a flow cartridge.
No the shower mixer has no isolation valves you'll need to isolate the pump etc.
Also clean the filters non return valves, they are located each side of the temp valve.

Well, I managed to get the water off with a total drain down thankfully. It would appear that only half of the cartridge has come out. I've tried to get what's left out with a wiggle and a pull with some pliers but didn't want to force the rest out. Any tips?

Thanks for that. It would appear that half of the cartridge is stuck inside the manifold and I'd rather not make the problem worse by pulling hard with pliers to extract. Can I immerse the half that did come off with One Shot or do I need to get the whole thing out?
Things have gone from bad to worse now. I removed the NRV on the left to see if it clogged and to be honest it wasn't that bad but I gave it a clean anyway. Put everything back and now I have no hot water at all, just cold. Anything I can do?
