mira azora broken

hi we have a mira azora 9.8 which has worked fine for 3 years and today made a popping noise and water gushed from the inside. i have taken the cover off and can see a drip coming from the a black oval shaped thing in the middle of the unit, i have looked on your website and i think its called the flow valve and inlet assembly. the drip is coming from the bottom and it looks like there is a cover plate with a gasket or is it glued on maybe? i have circled it on the attached photo. can this part be fixed or do i need to buy a whole new one and how easy is it to swap the parts over. cheers for help

You may need a new flow valve. There was no picture attached so I cant tell which area you mean.

I am often asked “Is this a DIY job” to be honest I can’t answer that, because without knowing someone, it isn’t possible to assess their skills?

I should say that most jobs on showers although relatively easy (from my point of view) can be fiddly and an extra pair of hands, long thin fingers and the strength in your hands of an all in wrestler are a help!

The secret is, observing very carefully when things are taken to bits, their order and orientation, taking notes and/or photos as you go can also be a help.

When you are working with electricity and water so make sure it is switched off and turned off before you start.

If you think you can do the job but aren’t just that confident, it may help to buy the part and compare it to the faulty part, you will then be able to see where the screws, wires, nuts, or washers etc. go, if then you think it is to complicated, at least you will have the part when the plumber or electrician arrives.

We will always be here to offer help and advice if you run into a problem, however it is not the same as being on site where we can get the overhaul picture, if you are still not sure, now is the time to call in a professional.
