Thanks, the link below gave me some indication - not that I understand all the values to input !!... but I can at least ask the right questions to the "expert" that will quote me. http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/Charts/VoltageDrop.html <- Specify 2-core cable and PVC, even if that is...

I like the lever system it's very smooth and can be moved up or down with a little finger. The biggest advantage I see is with the kids, both are small and find it a struggle to reach push buttons and even if they climb up! to reach the push, they then struggle to press. It's relativily...

Just to close this post. I eneded up installing http://www.screwfix.com/p/fluidmaster-lever-fill-valve-cistern-pack/81585 Fits very easily and is quiet, so for no leaks (touch wood) Thanks for the guidence :D

Maxatoria - thanks. I was thinking about getting a seperate phone line with broadband in the outside, did not consider your option - this could save me some monthly ££ :) Fameport - thanks. Did not expect it would cost that much. I understand that how long the job takes is an unknown and...

Hi, I'm thinking about installing a 4.5kw sauna heater in an outside. also in the out-house I'll run couple of computers for an office and a heater for winter, and lighting. I will need to run a armoured supply cable from my main fuse box ( sorry do not know the technical names) to...

Thanks for all the advise on this, I will try moving the ball valve around - hopefully that will do the job for me. It's been a real eye-opener to see these newer / quiter / easier to fit units. I may be tempted to install the ones you mention. BUT let me get a working, leak free...

Would I need to replace the doughnut seal and clamp plate. I did replace it when installing the new flush unit. Can they be re-used. Thanks

I removed the arm are tried to bend it. But it's tougher then I :lol: I will try rotating first. If not then I will take things apart and install: http://www.screwfix.com/p/fluidmaster-lever-fill-valve-cistern-pack/81585 - It's not what I wanted to do as I'm not confident in...

[/url] Thanks, Having a quiet flush would be nice. I had a quick look at the links you sent (thanks), I can't from seeing the images figure out how everything connects up, but will have a further look and study. I've removed the cistern and replaced the flush unit to the one you...

It's a bottom inlet entry I don't have an option to change sides sadly, just have a right side handle :cry:

Thanks Charnwood. If I turn the syphon 180 degrees, then I cant pull the flush (no idea what the technical term is :) ) I've seen in some toilets that the flush handle on the outside can be moved from one side to the other. This one can't. Is this the part...

Here is the photo. Not sure which URL I need so posting both. Hope you can view? //www.diynot.com/network/mamaji/albums/ //media.diynot.com/196000_195938_52616_66522334_thumb.jpg Looking at the space and Torbec unit - It looks like it will not fit either. Any other options...
