    Toilet flusher keeps clipping out in the cistern

    What can I do to fix this? It continuously happens. C link clip gets stuck and has to be manually popped back out to flush toilet. I realise this is likely a basic issue but I have no idea and need a fix. Thank you.

    I am planning to get a new WC for the downstairs cloakroom in our house. We have two possible WCs in mind. Both have a cistern with a lever rather than a push button on the middle of the lid, which is what my wife and I prefer. I am concerned about the siphons supplied with the cisterns. I have...

    How do I get the lid off this cistern?

    It looks like a standard 2 push button lid, but there are not slots for a flat head screw driver to go into the buttons to lift them up. It is a B&Q toilet I think (from previous owners ) so are there any specific tricks required to access the cistern on these units? Grateful for any help.

    Vantage concealed cistern, flush mounting clips broken.

    I’ve got a vantage concealed cistern that had an intermittent problem a couple of years ago whereby the flush wouldn’t shut off and it continuously overflowed into the bowl. As it was a new build I had the builder send a plumber round to resolve the issue. That worked until recently when it...
