I've just installed a new thermostatic shower fitting which is connected to a combi feed and mains cold. The water comming out is cold. Is there a way to adjust the inlet preasure for the cold water or could it be I have a dodgy thermostat?

Stupid question, but you have connected this shower with the hoy and cold water the right way around? I'm not too hot on shower technology but if I were to gues I would say that the hot and cold inlets are not interchangeable.

The other thing is that for a combi or multipoint, you need a thermostatic shower designed for full cold pressure, and very wide ranging hot pressure. Often this is a special model in a manufacturer's range. When I bought my Gainsburough some 4 or so years ago, their thermostatic showers came in 3 types; both high pressure, both low pressure, and high pressure cold with variable pressure hot, only the last of which was suitable for combi/multipoint use. (Two of them were easily converted from one to the other by changing a part, but the third wasn't.)
