The water seems to be a bit on the cool side while the stuff coming out of the taps is scorchio. Could it be that some sort of setting is wrong and too much cold water is getting into the mix? Any solutions appreciated as I wanna try and avoid getting a man in to twiddle a knob and then charge me £50 (or whatever!) for the privilege.

Is it a new shower or one thats been fitted for a while ?
My shower has a small screw that is hidden behind the shower controls. It lets you raise or lower the maximum temperature to prevent scalding. Could it be that? Don`t think of yourself as an ugly person. Think of yourself as a beautiful monkey!

Right, it`s a Bristan mixer shower with a separate pump (New Team I think) and has been in for just under two years (although this problem has been around for a while). It`s one of those smart-looking ones (!) that is like a horizontal metal bar with a temperature knob at one end and on/off knob at the other (it`s not a big plastic box on the wall type). The pipes from the shower go into the airing cupbooard where the pump is. And the shower curtain is white with purpley circles on! :)

Yes, you`ll find that if you remove the shower curtain, the water will be the correct temperature. :D

Wrong train of thought, Confusing Issac with Littlewren.
If Mac users are "more intelligent than the average computer user," why do they need an operating system designed for complete idiots?

Sound`s like a problem with the thermostat or you may have a massive difference in the water pressure (as you`ve already mention) ;)
