Carn't Get Cistern Lid Off New Bog

[Eileen George]

Yes please don't tell me the whole toilet has got to come out just because the cistern is dripping after I flush! This near to Christmas I can't afford to get a plumber out for a job like that

Whoever invented bogs like this wants shooting.

Quite agree - designed by a spotty teenager no doubt or at least by someone who doesn't think there's any more boom and bust - ie it won't ever go wrong.

find an identical drop valve is the only answer to not pulling out the whole thing. Either that or float valve needs adjusting.

Might I be allowed to suggest keeping a bucket of water next to the WC? Then you can pay for a plumber after Xmas.

I can't find an exact whatever it was as I can't get into the cistern to do anything it's all sealed up and thanks for the bucket suggestion We get charged for all the water we use and I can hear my money just running literally down the toilet I'm going to summon up my courage and talk to the guys I bought it off surely no one would sell a toilet with no access thanks for your thoughts

if its the b and q bog, you need to unscrew the outer ring of the push button mechanism.

correct

 

[johnmcginty]

either unscrew silver ring with buton as said or use a screwdriver and push one button down and pop the other one out then unscrew the white screw.
