Lifted the bonnet this morning and saw the little round regulator..water in..no water out.
Removed it and using my best watch back removal tactics, hammer, chisel and mole grips, removed the cap. Sure enough the inlet was blocked. Cleaned that, checked the diaphragm and spring and the outlet pipe all of which looked good. No holes and not stretched.
