Had a quick google most 1/4 turn queries are about dripping etc -
anyone had this low/no flow prob before? any pointers where I'm
heading? new cartridge? something else?


Last one I had was fine gravel in the pipe after some work had been
done on the mains. Over several weeks the tap got slower until SWMBO
issued a directive that "something had to be done". Getting it out
involved removing the tap and the tails.


well mystery solved/removed = a plug of polystyrene anyone?!?!

quite how that got in is another good question...

do those bulk packs of 15mm pipe have PS packaging to protect pipe
ends?
