New team 968 shower

The shower no longer regulates the temperature as all I can get is warm to very hot water and no cold water.



The shower is recessed and cannot remove the large brass nut to strip the shower down. I have tried a couple of kettles of boiling water over the body but still cannot move it

With the Sirrus 1800 series that in almost every occasion the first thing to do is give them a strip down clean and lube and fit a service kit, this will cure 85% of any problems and it is also the cheapest thing to do.

If after servicing you find out that it needs a thermostat or piston, nothing is really lost because it almost certainly needed a service in any case.

There is no real difficulty with this valve , just take photos as you strip it down you can then refer to them when you are rebuilding.

Try some WD 40 on the nut.
