My last house had a fordham flush panel cistern. Like most of them, it broke - I can't remember if it was the pushrod or the rocker arm - probably both. All non-standard stuff, unique to that cistern.

I removed the lid, explained to Mrs S how to flush it by pulling on the link, and went to work.

After about 2 weeks, I remembered to order the repair kit. It sat on my desk about 3 months, until a punter came in who needed one. Result - flogged it. Ordered another. Cycle repeated for about 3 years, until we moved out and let that house - at which time I fixed it in about 30 seconds.

Next job is a bath panel haven't had one since we lived here

[Ray Stafford]

What's this Fordham fix?

My mother inlaw ripped hers out after failing to repair it. The rocker arm snapped

Sorry to go off topic!

One of these

 

[Ray Stafford]

No. A lot older than that

I just tried finding the photo and it seems to be lost

Blimey, it must be old. Is it definitely a flush panel? The rocker arm in that pic looks like the same one I am talking about - and that was nearly 20 years ago, and it was an old cistern then - so probably from the 1970s.

I've gotta buy a house yet - anyone fancy lending me the money for a deposit, I know you're all loaded!
