Default Shower Flow

I need to reduce the flow rate to my Mira 415 shower in the winter as my
combi can't quite keep up with the flow rate.

What is the quietest way of throttling down the flow?

Funnily enough, I've just been reading an instruction leaflet for a Mira 88
shower.......... assuming it's similar, Mira do a reducing washer that goes
in the handset for the purpose. You could probably stick a washer or even a
coin in there and experiment drilling different hole sizes till you get
desired results. Some handsets also have a different "front" which can be
changed depending on the feed pressure. They are marked with either a small
H or L in the centre so perhaps switching that might also do the trick.
