Anyone know which thermostatic cartridge is required? Drainage and wastage systems and plumbing help, advice and answers

[BigIdeas]

I'm having trouble replacing a stuck thermostatic cartridge on a shower bar mixer, it looks like (and probably is) the deva lincoln model (linked below):

1. Does anyone know the right cartridge model (can I get it on amazon/hardware store)?
2. and removal tool (or advice) to remove and replace the cartridge?

I've done my youtube homework, taken the bar mixer off, cleaned everything else, tried to remove it, soaked and scrubbed with a little vinegar used wrenches etc. and it won't budge and the shower still doesn't change from being scorching hot.

Any help much appreciated, it'd help the waking-up-in-a-new-flat-feeling feel a little more satisfying!

ps. I know a replacement is cheap enough, but hopefully, it'd save a few quid and I hate wastefully throwing away stuff that can be fixed......and it'd be better for my ego if I wasn't defeated by the shower.

Hi bigideas,
It’s just not worth repairing, once the thermostatic coils are scaled up, getting them to work correctly is a nightmare.
