How to remove leaking thermostat shower

Hi

My thermostat shower is leaking at the temperature position. How do I fix it, there's a grub screw underneath which i have already taken out, not sure what to do next?

Many thanks

Probably new cartridge required, if you get it out, are you sure which one to buy?

Regardless of whether you can get the cartridge out, you need to obtain the correct one, eg manufacture specific, generally. If you can’t, then it’s likely to be new shower time. Post a photo of the temperature knob side on please.

Hi Chris

Have attached a couple of piccies. How do you remove the cartridge?

Looks like the cross head comes off, but doesn’t appear to be a removable cover, so likely another gun screw, once that’s off m then the rest should be easy enough.
