Hi there, I hope someone can help.
The ball valve in my toilet wasn't working, so I tightened the nut to try and lower the ball. However it snapped so the water started spewing out. I held the little valve manually and it stopped, so that part works. I've currently got a clamp holding the valve in place. The problem is...the toilet is mains filled and the internal stopcock doesn't work. I looked at the outside stopcock (in the boundary box?) and there is what looks like a plastic handle. This won't turn so I can't even turn the water off there.
How can I fit a new ballcock and arm thing if I cannot turn the water off? I can only flush the toilet by releasing the clamp to refill the cistern and reclamping before it overflows.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks
