I've just installed a new thermostatic shower fitting which is connected to 
a combi feed and mains cold. The water comming out is cold. Is there a way 
to adjust the inlet preasure for the cold water or could it be I have a 
dodgy thermostat?

Stupid question, but you have connected this shower with the hoy and cold 
water the right way around? I'm not too
hot on shower technology but if I were to gues I would say that the hot and 
cold inlets are not interchangeable.

The other thing is that for a combi or multipoint, you need a
thermostatic shower designed for full cold pressure, and very
wide ranging hot pressure. Often this is a special model in a
manufacturer's range. When I bought my Gainsburough some 4 or
so years ago, their thermostatic showers came in 3 types;
both high pressure, both low pressure, and high pressure cold
with variable pressure hot, only the last of which was suitable
for combi/multipoint use. (Two of them were easily converted
from one to the other by changing a part, but the third wasn't.)
