I'm late to the party but I purchased a deal like this (£9.98) from Groupon a few weeks ago and it was fine. The installation was seamless and the key worked no problem. New Outlook installed no problem too. Check that the version being sold includes future updates. Some don't.

Would this be a job any plumber would take on Rob?

Hi folks, I have a walk-in shower cabinet in my bathroom. It was installed around eight years ago and I have a black mould problem. I am happy to pay someone to reseal the shower cabinet but I'm not sure what this is going to involve. The mould has gotten down into the glass panel mountings...

Thanks again Rob. I won't take the chance because it seems to be hitting a hard stop when I turn it.

So, I contacted Geberit and they said it was the type 260 or equivalent Rob. I tried to remove it as, shown in the video above. The video shows it being turning 90deg anticlockwise and lifting out. Mine won't turn beyond about 60deg, and no matter how hard I pull at it, it just will not budge. I...

Thanks for this guys. I think I'll just email Geberit.

I think I have now identified this as a Geberit flush valve (223.008.21.1), which is now discontinued. As you can see in the attached images, I can turn this around 45° in either direction but it will not pull out. I can't see any clips that could be used to release it either. Anyone any ideas...

Cheers Rab. I did some more digging and I think it's more like a TYP240. This looks like it may be the solution. I'll have another go at it tomorrow.

I have a downstairs loo with a leaky cistern, see picture of cistern with lid removed. The valve is clearly not seating properly so it's constantly leaking into the WC. How big a job is it to fix or replace this? I was going to try to remove it to have a look but it all feels quite flimsy and...

I am considering having my roof retiled but I have no idea how much this will cost. Can anyone suggest what a typical price for a three bed end terrace house would be? I know there several factor that would affect the price but at this stage I'm only looking for an idea. Also would the price be...

Thanks to those who offered possible solutions without feeling the need to be rude.

Really? If that was the case and I was a customer I would give you a wave and think I had a lucky escape.

Thank you but to me it doesn't look like a blockage. As I say the flush appears quick and normal, no backing up as the pan empties.

for the last few days waste seems to be back feeding into my downstairs toilet bowl. It cleans and flushes quickly with no apparent problem but after a while some waste appears in the bowl again. Is this coming from the drain in the street? I was thinking a blockage outside but when flushed the...

Thanks. That is what I concluded. I have now ordered them from Amazon.
