Removing Ellis Medina Flush Button Panel to fix Leak

Can anyone give advice on how to remove the panel please.
Thanks.

Re: Removing Phoenix SV009 Shower Bar Mixer for Maintenance?

Many thanks for that.
Is it worth buying the replacement kit or just replacing the whole bar unit?
The reason being I am getting a banging sound from the temperature control side when first turning on. It does stop if I turn on the mixer tap for the sink.

Can you use PTFE Tape on Leaking Magna Clean Cap?

Have serviced my magna clean, but it has a slight leak from the cap(definitely not cross threaded).
Was thinking of using some PTFE. Would this be of any use.

Re: Hot water pressure

Other hot water taps working fine. Opening the tap fully doesn't increase the flow.
This problem tap is at the end of the line from the boiler, that's why I wondered if the boiler was the problem. Do you suggest changing the mixer tap? Thanks, Trevor

Hot water pressure

When I turn the hot water tap on the kitchen sink mixer taps the hot water comes out and heats up, but after a while the pressure drops and the water becomes a trickle. It is fed through a combi boiler.
Is this a tap problem or is it the boiler? would appreciate some guidance. Trevor
