Spot the person who has never had the combustion chamber door off on a 30 CXi if thats the best you can come up with ...:whistle:

The cistern can't be raised as it is already tight up against the shelf above it. Were it possible to get a fitting that does an immediate 90 degrees out of the cistern it would work OK, but I can't see myself finding one. The alternative is to get a chippy to cut the shelf out and put in a low...

A bathroom company (no longer trading) installed a wet room and raised the toilet pedestal. The outlet from the concealed cistern is a flexi which now has its own U bend forced into it and leaks. Hopefully here is a photo. Any ideas beyond pulling the whole lot out and putting in a new non...
