I took van for a service yesterday (Saturday). Engineer said the shower head had split. I told him I never use the shower and questioned how this could have happened, He suggested that I had left water in the shower head. I am psychotic about draining down the water system and leaving the taps open over winter. He took me to the spares shop and they only had a beige one at £28.------------- A barman is just a pharmacist

Oooh that's a lot of money for something you never use. Any chance of a B&Q showerhead fitting, they have quite a range?-------------

It would only have split if it had water in it. I know when ours split the replacement cost about £25. And I didn't use it cos it didn't fit!
Our dog showers himself and he always likes to have the window closed. I guess he is modest about such things.

If it's never been used was probably cracked when you picked up the van so didn't know. I would try somewhere like ebay to source a replacement if you need one, but as it's not used I wouldn't bother.------------- David

First of all I have never had a shower in the van - but I do use it to fill the loo. I have never left water in the shower head over the winter, as I said I am psychotic about it. I cannot use a different make of shower head it wont fit. The shower head at the moment has 3 settings Jet-off-shower Oh and leak. It has split on the joint line which suggests to me that it was a fault. Its really weird I cant explain it. I have poured super glue into the crack to hope it seals for the moment------------- A barman is just a pharmacist

Hi, same here,,,,"and we only use ours to fill the toilet flush tank through the window...saves messing around with a watering can"
Hi Chalkie56, should try the caravan salvage yards,may find one there.
------------- If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.
