    Can someone please identify what this hose is?

    It’s very unlikely someone here will be able to identify the hose itself, but they might be able to identify the tap if you provide good pictures. The hose is likely tap/manufacturer specific.

    Shower cold/warm - hot when flush tap

    If it’s a thermostatic shower, it’s likely that it’s passing cold water into the hot supply which is reducing the temperature. You likely need a new thermostatic cartridge. If you turn off the hot supply to the bathroom with the dodgy shower and open a hot tap on the basin, do you get cold...

    Daryl Shower Head replacement (possibly over 30 years old)

    It’s hard to say without seeing the whole Shower arm, but those flat sections are where a spanner would be attached and you would use it to unwind the swivel head.

    How to identify dripping tap.

    Good job, in future, use full bore lever valves with a packing nut. Whenever I have to use these screwdriver valves, theres a 50/50 chance it will leak and need replacing.

    How to identify dripping tap.

    Can you turn off the supply to just the cylinder, then open hot tap to drain hot system. If it continues to drip, its the cold. Either way, i always replace cartridges in pairs.

    Brass tap body is leaking.

    Should have oring on cartridge creating a seal. Make sure tap threads are clean, lubricate cartridge oring and tighten.
