Hi, I have a dual flush push button that needs replacing (or perhaps just the rods only) and I don't know which kind I need or where to get one. I don't know which make or model toilet I have as there are no markings on it other than "L34" stamped on the underside of the cistern lid and what looks like "A5" or "AS" written in some white UV writing but it is partially rubbed off.
As you can see in the pictures, the push button itself is a half-crescent variety and one of the rods appears to be missing a white tightening nut and the springs inside the housing are rather worn so this has caused one half of the button to sag down and become difficult to use.
I have tried going to Screwfix and they said they don't stock this particular button and couldn't tell me what kind it was anyway and I tried a couple other plumbers merchants on a nearby industrial estate but they also said they didn't have one and suggested it would be difficult to get hold of and that I may need to replace the whole flush system for a new one and new button. They also said it was a big job but to be honest I think they just thought I was stupid and were trying to rip me off, I find it hard to believe I can't just replace the button.
Anyway, please can someone help me identify which button and/or rods I need and where I might be able to get one. It seems a simple fix of just unscrewing the current button and replacing it with a new one. I have measured the hole and it's just under 4.5cm wide. The rods are around 8cm long.
Thanks for any help.
