DIY toilet repair - in need of brownie points from the Mrs..

[jimcroisdale]

Hi all,

Toilet is leaking when flushed from the toilet to cistern seal and its my job to fix it tomorrow.

I'm a graphic designer.... :-/

I know its probably the big rubber seal (spud?) But I don't know what size will fit. I'll have to take it to bits and then take the old seal to the plumbers merchants and stand at the counter like a Muppet.

I'm on my mobile, but if I've done it right this should be a pic of the loo in question:

pet.

And idea what type/size thingy I will need?

Yours in eternal thanks,

Jim

can you take a pic of the underside please as there should be a flush pipe (maybe)

Thinking it maybe one of those horrid toilets with the 2"x3" plastic shroud things that I hate. Picture will tell.

And did you seal it? Guess it looked good on somebody computer screen in the R&D department. lol

Jim, these have metal brackets that the cistern sits on to take the weight, if you see the brackets under the cistern then warn her indoors that it may not be a 1/2hr job mate.
