I recently fitted one of these SC50T32 after the, not very old, one started to constantly drip water from the shower head. All went well with the handy video on the utra site Technical - https://www.homeofultra.co.uk/technical but water continually drips from the spindle where the temperature is adjusted, I've taken out and reseated the spindle sealing screw a dozen times and it still constatnyl weeps - am I missing a trick or is it faulty? Would PTFE on the spindle seal screw be a bad idea?!
