Had this loo for 10 years so with an average use of 5 flushes a day its gone through 18,000 push cycles.
And now its getting stuck.... I tried greasing it, cleaning it, bleaching it, descaling it.

I've heard you can claim for all or some of hire purchase but if you just buy a van for a couple of grand in one go, second hand, can you claim some back? If so I guess it'd be best...

Hi my first post so thanks in anticipation of any help I may receive.
I have just come home to a flooded kitchen as the threaded connector of my cold tap has failed and sheared off. It amazes me that this has happened as the tap is solidly fitted to the work top and there is no movement at all...
