Mira 8 shower - sticking and weeping

I have an old Mira 8 shower which has not been used for some time because it was sticking and sometimes wouldn't turn off. Would replacing the Internal Set cartridge and Knob pack effectively give me the equivalent of a new shower? It was a DIY installation so I am tempted by an easy option or would I be better going for a more modern shower. Or is the Mira 8 still a good shower in comparison with newer models. The shower was well used over a long time so I presume that a new cartridge set is more likely to be needed rather than a service kit.

The Mira 8 was in my opinion one of the best showers of it’s time!

As long as you are not connected to a combi boiler there is no reason for changing it

A service pack will normally solve most of the problems, however if it is fairly old then the brass components internally start to wear so it can be more sensible to just to fit the internal set

 

An internal set and a new set of knobs and you should have a shower that will last for many yeasr.
