Simple to replace.

Unit supplied (shower engine) was exactly as described and the whole thing only took 20 minutes to replace with the current one - including cleaning up.

Dead easy to fit the PRD

Dead easy to fit the PRD. You don't need to be an electrician. But for heaven's sake make sure you have disconnected at the consumer unit. Showers are high rated items (mine is 10.5kw).
You could be killed if you don't isolate.

Part for shower.…

The website is very detailed and we found the replacement part easily.
It was reasonably priced and free postage and packing.
We ordered it on Tuesday afternoon and it arrived on Thursday. Very efficient service!

Shower motor, head and hose

Shower motor was easy to install as it’s exactly the same as the failed one.
Shower hose is a better quality than most
Shower head is ineffective so changed it to another
Delivery took two days
