Hey everyone - 2007 Vision 40 leaking from the shower handle.....  we think the leak is from from this cartridge (part of the shower handle in the head) but can't seem to locate a manufacturer or part number.  I see a '13' and a 'K' on this.  Any clue???  Thanks!

Try Penguin Engineering on Hayling Island. They have been very helpful when I have dealt with them.
They have quite a range of fittings.
I have just looked at their website and there are several cartridges to choose from.
Yours looks like MD6501.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Page 494 of the screwfix catalogue.  If online, they call them mixer tap cartridge . Part number is 6086x for a 35mm (£4.26) or 6011x for 40mm (£4.76).

Fenders - many thanks.....  they are checking but it appears they may not have it.  Great site though - thanks!!

Sunshine - pretty sure that's the one - 40mm version.  Thank you.  BUT - They don't deliver to the US.  Arrrgh!  HAs anyone faced that challenge???

These mixing head mechanisms are very common in European made mixer taps and can be found in any good hardware store in Europe. They are typicaly not manufacturer specific.
Try Amazon - search for "mixer tap cartridge". Amazon.com may not give good results (it is US biased especially if it detects that you are in the US) so try amazon.de or amazon.uk

Screwfix (and B&Q in the UK) is somehow related to Home Depot in US. Their website looks like they have them.
