The whole thing is a bodge and a bit of an experiment. Thanks for the idea - I will explore this great advice.

My old metal shed has a hole in the roof so when moving it I decided to cover it with some old sail cloth, recycling two things at once.. I've removed the bar at the apex and re-installed it above the covering. For now it is attached to the sides and back with gaffer tape and just clamped at...

If they're not expected to last, then don't give them a 3-year warranty

CRA Section 23: Right to repair or replacement This section details a consumer's right to insist on repair or replacement of faulty goods, the cost of which must be borne by the trader. This includes the trader bearing any costs involved in the removal of an installed item and reinstallation of...

I would suggest that must have been within a very short time of purchase as things are not kept on the shelves very long at all.

Hi I changed life career from IT to college lecturing in Management at age 47 having done a strategic management course and then a PGCE teaching course. I changed again age 59 to self employment. Financially this was a huge drop and just before the pandemic but never had any regrets. Hope...

I found I was having to replace the rubber washer on the flush valve regularly because of this. The new valve does not appear to have one of those.

Thanks, I’ve fitted a fluidmaster now without cable.

Thanks for all the advice and help on this. I ordered a Fluidmaster mechanical dual flush valve without cable from Toolstation yesterday afternoon (Sunday). Was not in stock but delivered to store this morning, collected and fitted. I’m very pleased with it and myself. It has a much sturdier...

Thanks, yes I totally agree and wish I’d never changed from the old toilet! Converting this one would be impossible. 😄

Thanks Colin I see Toolstation stock these. Have you got one fitted a few years Ago and not had any problem? Caitriona

Thank you That’s encouraging. My son mentioned a track saw too. Will look them up. Currently I only have sliding mitre saw, reciprocator, jigsaw and of course handsaws but none of those are ideal. I’m in my 60s and also have some arthritis 😄

Thanks That’s what I thought. Was seeking advice for a better quality push button internal flushing system. The button itself is good. Just the cable mechanisms keep failing.

These are photos of the cistern and flushing mechanism, Thanks for the prompt

Thanks, can I replace a button flush with a lever flush and keep the same cistern?

Thanks, the toilet is close coupled. I’m thinking I would have to completely replace it or replace the cistern to use a lever flush. Is this correct?

Looking for recommendations for replacement flushing mechanism for a toilet that's been giving me a lot of trouble. It has a button operated flush and was originally installed with a Torbeck variflush drop valve system by Opella with a partial flush and full flush option on the button. Apart...
