Replace shower mixer tap cartridge

[Rotaruaben]

Hello All,

I wonder if some help is at hand with a problem I have with my shower mixer tap. I have a leak and am hoping it is the same problem I had with the mixer tap in the toilet sink. The cartridge was faulty and I successfully replaced it. However, in the case of the shower mixer tap the configuration of the tap is different. I can't find a way to get inside the mixer. On the sink tap it was a simple case of opening the access to the screw on the top of the tap and working from there. It seems to be different on the shower as I can see no way to uncouple the faucet. My van is a Sprite Firebrand. Can anyone suggest a solution please?

Do you have a picture(s)

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Normally I would remove the hot/cold on top to get access. However, this seems not to be moveable. I hope the images are helpful.

Yep it sticks on. Pop it off with a fine edge.
