Hi all,
Just removed my cistern which is the type that sits directly on the back of the toilet bowl. The reason I removed this, as when you flushed the toilet clean water leaked from this region so i though it was the rubber/foam seal that seals the union between the bowl and the base of the cistern unit.
I have measured the hole at the back of the toilet, where the clean water starts its flush cycle, and it has a diameter of 3". Now the old seal I removed looks a bit rubbered, if you pardon the pun, but does anyone know what this is called? I want to get a new one hopefully from a DIY store.
If i can't get one, I'll just put it back on covered in silicon sealant which I dont really want to do
Any ideas most welcome.
Cheers
Russell.
