A concealed cistern has a small leak from where the flushpipe joins the flushvalve. I have not seen this type previously but the large round cover would appear to be out of alignment. Is it designed to unscrew from a thread? Anyone care to explain as to how it can be removed?

Thanks in advance.

Just a push fit with a cone washer, just pull the collar down.

On second thoughts it could be a screwed on collar.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Yes, it does look over-tightened. I was unable to turn with my hands probably because it is so scaled up. The same goes for the fill-valve. I have been asked to replace it with a new cistern. Are the various models from Screwfix up to much or is it better to go for something like this Grohe?

 
Thanks, Simon, but I should have made it clear that the cistern requires a push-button operation and the Phantom looks to be a lever flush.
 
Same one as my link

TBH I would buy the one in my link and then you have any parts you need
 
agree with Shaun get the Toolstation one more or less a straight swap half the price of a Gerberit one to more in it for you cheers kop
