How much $ for shower dial??

a super or a handyman can do this. they unscrew/remove the handle, clean behind it and put a new washer in. that is what happens usually. if your issue is more then that, then new shower body and retile. once you know it's the later, put your corolla on cars.com ;)

hopefully you're correct, we just moved in and am prepping it for my niece...

i just moved in and id hate to give the maintenance/board the impression i'd call them fro every little thing, but thats really the only problem and hey i pay them every month for it..

hopefully i can keep my sexy 116 horsepower corollo

by having it fixed, you'll save water and your gas sipping corolla.

i'd speak to the super, not the board or management.

Your maintenance doesn't cover stuff inside your apartment. If the building's run right the parts and the super's time will be charged back and added to next month's maintenance.

Part to fix this is less than 30 bucks at a hardware store. It's a DIY project really. Hope your S - type is stick shift.

its an automatic.. my friends make fun of me for driving an AUTO s-type..

i just laugh and say my parking cots more than their daughter's rental in bensonhurst.

thanks dwaazi ive seen that tutorial online it looks kind of complicated tho.. and unfortunately the previous owner caked on caulking (is that it?) on the outside of the fixtures which hardened so i might break a tile or 9 if i DYI

Caulking isn't diffecult to remove. Just chip away with it slowly. If it's silicone, take a razor to it. If it's white bathroom caulk, it's probably pliable and easy to chissel/chip away at it.

I fixed the said part in my parents house a few times. The actual part that's busted is probably 23 cents, but any contamination of the washer will create problems.

Don't try to force the water to 'shut off' by over tightening too much. That's something my sister would do. It's a mechanical device, not the hoover dam. G/L. Youtube probably has a video on how to fix it. My friend used to own a 5 speed S-type.
