Hi Can anyone offer me some advice on this please? Got double timber gates (approx 6' high by 5' wide each). They are fixed onto 4x4" timber posts. I have 2 normal bolts and a handle/catch on the gates, as well as long drop bolts on bottom of each gate. The problem i have is the...

I'll take it out and see if i can get a replacement flush valve. Because the button is broken, i need a new one anyway so might as well replace the lot. Thanks for your replies. Hope its as easy as it sounds :) Gary

Yes, its passing throught the flush valve somehow and trickling into the toilet. As above, is it easier for me just to replace the whole flush valve instead of trying to repair it (especially considering i haven't done this before) Cheers

Sorry, i meant its defo not the inlet valve. It fills up (albeit a bit slow) and cuts off long before the water reaches the overflow level. The water trickles into the toilet until it reaches a low enough level for the inlet valve to activate refill it again (and so on) I'll take it to...

So the drop valves are pretty much a standard size / fitment? Its defo the overflow, the inlet valve does cut the water off okay but is also a bit slow to fill up so i'd probably replace both at same time. The inlet valve is on the top left hand side of cistern and is quite short inside...

Hi This will probably turn out to be a stupid question, but newbie to this and wonder if anyone can offer me some advice please :oops: Go a single push button flush on a cisters (looks like made by Jika?), which i have 2 problems with. 1. Plastic button has broken off, and i can't...

Thanks Suprisingly, their gate isn't looking too bad for now :D My old post is being removed from the corner of my concrete drive, so i'm hoping when i sink the new post 2' down and re-concrete it in place it will hold the gates. Maybe i'm being a bit optimistic though. Just thought...

Thanks Richard C Never really thought about that side of things. I'll have a look at that forum you recommended. It was the neighbour who suggested that joining the posts might strengthen them and support the 2 sets of gates better. I know neighbours was a 4x4 treated post and was sunk...

Hi First attempt at putting my new fence up, and wonder if someone could provide a little advice please Putting up a 6' fence, and double garden gates which are 6' by approx 10 ' in total size. My neighbour has the same, and the gates meet in the middle where the gardens join. When i...

Hi Wonder if someone can give a bit of advice please. I am replacing a 4 foot fence in my garden, and aim to replace it with a 6 foot fence. It is going to be a straight run, approx 22 foot in total. 12 foot of that will be straight forward fencing. The remaining 10 Foot i am planning...
