And yet another wee problem - never ending this!

The shower is one of the Whale ones you pull out from the middle when we tried it there was water coming out in all directions and running down the outside of the pipe into the hole it came from and obviously down behind the plastic sink bit (you can tell I am not technically minded!)Is this a problem? Is it just a matter of getting a new shower head? How does it work behind the sink bit - does anyone have a picture of it? Hubby isnt too keen to be undoing screws when he doesnt have too but I think we might need to - I dont want any more damp in this van!

Thanks - I have looked on t-internet and found one for £24.95.

Does it make any difference that the water is getting down the bit where it comes from?

They often crack in winter - always best to remove them and put in the sink.

sounds like it is only the pipe that has split behind the shower head.you can buy a repair kit for £9 from your dealer.just mean cutting off a bit of pipe. if not they sell heads too.
