Ah having just had a shower it is not a Mira it is a Triton Combi HP. Fair point it lasted well.
It has been lukewarm and tolerable for about two months but this mornings shower was erm, cooler 😆
So it looks like although it is old I could buy another just the same. Seems to make sense if I have been happy with it and also because having taken the cover off it the holes in the tiles are not pretty.
Having checked the price on cartridge versus whole shower I reckon the faff of gettting it off to replace the cartridge £80 only to need to replace the whole unit means I might as well go that route from the off.
