Thanks for that everyone. I managed to get the bit on. The second round of
CLR & fitting the part onto the pipe must have done it. I've stuck with the
old plate on the wall as I couldn't fit the new part to the new plate,
although I've noticed a slight drizzle of water coming out at the wall

"Coming out at the wall"???

I probably don't understand the standard installation of shower arms down under,
but unless there's some sort of boss on the wall into which the shower arm is
threaded, and it's that joint which is leaking, I'd start expecting there's
water coming down the inside of the wall too.

What am I missing here Aussy guys?

And why does a little voice inside me keep urging me to open my big mouth and
dryly remark that if God had wanted women to understand anything mechanical he
would have given them brains instead of bosoms? (Ducking...)
