Hi, my Twyfords flushes OK but the water doesn't circulate round the rim, it just flushes out 2 or 3 inches either side of outlet. There's a 'widget' thingy tucked up inside the rim at the outlet point and I assume this is suppose to direct the water horizontally beneath the rim but it's loose. Anyone got a diagram of how this 'widget' thingy should be seated. Many thanks.
 
Or is the widget thing a part of the flush mechanism that has fallen down the flush hole? Had that happen to me once and never did find where it ended up - in your toilet, perhaps?
 
Is it a low level pan with a flushpipe between the cistern and toilet pan?? Could be that the outlet in back of pan is partially blocked?
 
Thanks for your replies. It's a low-level with flush pipe between cistern and pan. I think its a deflector widget thingy and I've sussed how it works now - have managed to get fingers up under the rim and turned it up the other way. It can't have dropped through from cistern because I couldn't push it back, but the water now gushes right round the bowl with no problem. Many thanks once again.

"Blocked" bathroom sink, except it's not blocked
Hi everyone, I have an issue with my bathroom sink. It's been "blocking" regularly, maybe once a month, for at least 3 years. The sink fills with water and doesn't drain. In the past I've used "HG Liquid Drain Unblocker" and that often will clear the blockage, but it doesn't always. I've also...
