Shower cutting out

Hello, I wrote to you quite a few years ago re my Mira Supreme 8-4 shower which kept cutting out. The symptoms were that within roughly 2 minutes of turning it on it completely shut down with neither the lights or pump working. If I turned it off and then on again in say 2 minutes it worked as it should without further problems. I can't remember your diagnosis at the time but without doing anything, after a week it started working correctly which its done ever since....until now!!! I am now experiencing exactly the same problems with it stopping and starting perhaps twice during a shower but then sometimes it's fine for a complete shower. I know it's a very old shower and probably should be replaced but to re-plumb a new one and to replace the electrics would be a nightmare and therefore I'm hoping that your expert knowledge and a replacement part may extend it's life just a little longer before the inevitable happens. Many thanks, my best wishes, Pete

It may be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you have a multi meter, you should have a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the two terminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in the failed state.) (When it has stopped working

Apart from the length, this shower is a direct replacement for yours without the need to re plumb or re wire.
