Toilet Syphon

[Funkyboy]

Hi All,
My toilet Syphon stopped flushing I had a look today and it's a Derwent macdee metro. One that you can remove without taking toilet to pieces. The plastic has torn. Tried taping it together for quick fix but not made any difference. Is it a case of just replacing the plastic out do I need a new Syphon part and if so can another make fit onto it or does it need to be same make. Thanks

If the various bits you show in the pic unscrew/come apart, you can replace just the plastic, eg: eBay item 265640707064

Or make one from similar thickness/pliability plastic sheet (but might not last as long!)
You need the same brand/model parts unless you change the whole assembly.

Thanks I was hoping the parts were inter changeable with other makes. Replacement plastic is available so I'll try that first

Visqueed is a good shout, if you have a building site nearby ask if you can skip dive for an off cut, used as DPM under concrete floor slabs.
