how can I fix the control valve on my Triton T30i hand wash unit?

I dismantled the valve because it was not shutting off completely. When I re-assembled the valve it would not vary the flow rate or shut off.

Late reply (March 2011), but it might help someone else wanting to repair a Triton T30i. My unit leaked when turned on more than a trickle; the Technical Team at Triton diagnosed (by email) that a new Stabilising valve assembly was needed. Their price for a new valve assembly (including VAT, p&p) was £37.93 –later searching found it for £27.95 (at shower-spares.co.uk)

I bought a new handwash unit (for £45.36 off the shelf at TLC rather than the £61.91 that Triton wanted) as I feared that repair would be difficult. Having fitted the new one, I then dismantled the old one. A replacement of the valve assembly should be easy – no special tricks. I disassembled both the stabiliser part and the valve part but couldn’t see anything obviously wrong, so don’t know how practical a repair would be. Obvious safety warning to turn off both electricity & water before starting.
