That's great White Spirit, thanks for your help. I'll trot off and do it now. Thanks again, Graham

I've just bought a towel radiator which I was told was filled with oil to put onto an electric central heating system. On further inspection it was actually filled with water which I guess would be dangerous due to water expanding when hot. I've now drilled the holes through brand new tiles...

Bought a spare arm fitted = perfect! Thanks :P

Thanks for your help Seco, The linkage is on the very last hole but is is approx 1 inch from being directly over the rod on the cistern. Thanks Graham

Yes you're right the linkage doesn't seem to pulling it up straight. How can I fix without taking the siphon out? Thanks for your help graham

Hi, When my toilet is flushed the toilet handle stays in the down position and the "rod" which connects to the large washer/diaphragm stays sticking up (not very well explained - sorry). Unfortunately the cistern is tiled in and I can't get to the underside to change the siphon, has anyone...

ever since I moved into my house nearly 7 years ago black marks appear which replicate the mortar in between the breeze blocks underneath the plaster. This leads me to paint each room nearly every 12 months as the unsightly marks always show their ugly head. Anyone any ideas? Regards Graham

I need to change a rad to a towel rad in a bathroom on an unvented system (Heatrae Sadia). Unfortunately I can't freeze the pipework so what are the implications of draining the system? Is an airlock a potential problem? What is the best way of completing the job? Thanks in advance G

I used copper pipe and a push fit stop, cheers.

does anyone know if you can use a leak sealer (and central heating inhibitor) on a central heating system installed with plastic push fit pipework? F
