After such a detailed description I was expecting you to end with.......it didn't work!!
and no mention for Lex Luthor ... :-(Right folks, I think the problem is solved.
Heres what I did.
I did not need to soak the shower head in vinegar as I do that every month anyway (we use vinegar for everything in my house). But thanks for that advise.
I closed all trip switchs to the shower and took the cover off. I then removed the filter, it was really easy to do as said. There was one small honeysuckle hedge leaf in it, so I washed it out (can you tell I'm a gardener yet)
I replaced the filter and opened the bleed screw above it to allow water to fill the filter area again.
Before I put the cover back on I sat back and had another think about what could be causing the shower to cycle hot and cold. It must have been some form of sensor. There was, what looked like a sensor attached just above where the water leaves the shower and enters the hose, so I extracted that.
The face of this sensor in contact with the water seemed to have a slight limey film over it. I reaced for my vinegar and cloth to give it a good buff up. Possibly the limey film was insulating the sensor, which in turn allowed the water to scorchingly heat up and then to overcompensate by chilling down again.
I then repositioned the sensor and replaced the shower cover. With the power reconnected, I allowed the water to run on cold for about 2 minutes.
Then I started to check the different heat levels, they all worked and remained constant. Great.
Thanks for all your help.
