I was wondering whether some air was introduced into the system whilst the toilet leak was fixed which contributed to the problem??
Note the shower valve (from Dolphin bathroom) started to leak shortly after it was installed a few years back and a water pressure reducer was introduced into the system under the guarantee (it is now out of guarantee now, unfortunately).

I have tried to turn off the water mains, drains remaining system through the bath tap, shower valve, toilet (by flushing it) and then slowly turning on the water mains, but the shower valve still leak, despite not opening the water mains fully (and hence, reducing the water pressure).
What could be causing the leak and if there are air in the system, how could it be extracted from my system?
