Aqualisa Shower Dripping?

Hi I have an aqualisa shower which runs off the mains and the main part of the shower (the piece with both a temperature control and pressure control) has a drip, the house is about 5 years old and the shower was installed from new , any suggestions on how i can sort this out or even stop the annoying dripping sound in the interim would be appreciated

Update-fixed it. Cartridge came today, took about 45mins to remove the old one and fit the new one.

We've got the same problem with our shower. We've got this one http://www.aqualisa.co.uk/parts-store/Controls/Aquarian-exposed-thermostatic-and-manual-mixer-valve2/. According to a bit of googling, and confirmed by a plumber, we need a new cartridge (the bit in the the main body of the shower, with the controls either end). There's two types-thermostatic and manual. When you take the 'aqualisa' badge off the body of the shower, unscrew the screw behind it. The top cover will come off and there'll be a model number. If it starts 'm' it's a manual cartridge. We bought ours for £64 inc delivery. Not sure if that helps? Haven't a clue how to actually replace it though (hoping it'll come with instructions!!). I know we'll have to drain the tank-there's no way of isolating just the shower, so we'll have to turn the mains off.
