It (the blue bit/float thing) is touching the cistern, but at present doesn't seem to be affecting it's function, but appreciate you flagging this!

That's extremely helpful, thank you. I raised the float as suggested, and now getting more flushing power.

Appreciate it! Would you recommend a certain water height in the cistern so I can aim for this?

Thank you, I will double check this

Thanks so much! So the Syphon is that black thing?

Hi all, quick one here - my flush is pretty weak and doesn't always get rid of what's in pan...my cistern only fills a third/half way up. Is there any adjustment I can make to get a bit more strength in the flush? Cheers!

No opening now, no. Cheers on the PVA tip. Saw somewhere else that thistle one coat could also work for this? I used a Dulux kitchen paint trade (eggshell) which sounds like it should be breathable Cheers!

If it helps, this is where an old chimney breast was / is

Oh interesting, thus is because it might be damp thats causing it? So you'd advise taking it back to brick > limelite > finishing coat? Any PVA needed before the limelite? Thanks again

Cheers Wayners! It's a 1920s house, but not a cavity wall...the 'hollowness' feels like its the top layer...other parts of the wall seem ok from what I can tell

Thanks again! I see that I will have to get one that has a rectangular overflow fitting. Cheers, and will go for Mcalpine.

Oh god, the list grows...! Thank you Chris for flagging this. I will get him to try it out first hand so he can see it for himself.

Nice one Rob - I saw in the reviews for this that people have attached it to IKEA sinks before, so if needed I could swap this for whats there currently, then proceed to fit all Mcalpine from there:

:confused:

Thank you so much! Yes, I saw there were these available that might allow Mcalpine fittings to be used on the IKEA sink...

Thanks so much Madrab for the extensive response, really appreciated! I feel like he rushed this too, its already leaking a bit where the sink waste meets main waste pipe. I have a new IKEA sink, but guessing McAlpine system could still go into this, perhaps with some adapter? Cheers again -...

Ah, could be the angle...is this a better shot?

Hi Andy, that's coming from the boiler - condensate pipe I think?

Oh dear....so we have an issue here?
