So which is easier, moving the pan or undoing the outlet pipe from the cistern?

There's no movement on the pipe other than side to side. There seems to be a black washer just inside the lip but I can't get hold of it.

Can't sort a pic but here's the pipe I mean. The connection where the pipe meets the pan is actually hidden and not accessible because it's within the ceramic sleeve of the pan itself.

I've had a go but the only play in the pipe seems to be from side to side so although it seems certain to be loose I can't figure out how to reseat it because you can't see the join (it just disappears into the hole in the pan where I asume it connects an inch or two inside).

It seems to be gushing out from the pan, almost as if the water is leaving the cistern, travelling trough the outlet and then coming back out. Just underneath the cistern where the joint is it's dry.

Got a leak on our bog, took me a while to work out where from because of the condensation but it's definitely coming from the pipe that leads from the cistern to the pan - which comes out at the bottom of the cistern and then turns at 90 degrees and disappears into a slot in the pan. I've...

Follow up question: does anyone know anywhere in Manchester where I can buy a bucket and an umbrella?

I know it's a long shot but does anyone know anywhere in Manchester or the NW that sells Geberit spares on a Sunday?

Well I would hazard a guess that he will find most of those things, based purely on the way my wife's uncle left the place prior to us moving in (it was the family home before that so he had a free run on tinkering). The builder is currently refurbing the utility room and found a live cable...

I see a sense of humour isn't a prerequisite for this forum! The relative was my wife's uncle who worked for the family building company for many years. I always thought he was a joiner but I am told he did qualify as an electrician when he was a much younger man, although he didn't practise...

Apparently the relative was a qualified electrician....or at least he used to be. He did the work about ten years ago but hadn't been a spark for many, many years prior to that. I think he was in prison for causing a house fire... No idea what a PIR is. Don't know what you mean by 'notify'.

The house was rewired by a relative (not a qualified electrician!!!) about ten years ago but the old cables were left in place as well as the Economy 7 cabling which is a nest of cables going in every direction. There is an old board in the cabinet (no RCD's obviously) and it has been added to...

I have just been quoted £800 for a new CU (strip out everything in the cabinet including the old Economy 7 boxes and wiring) plus new double sockets in 9 locations in my lounge. The mains cabinet at the moment is a real mess - it's jammed full of wiring from 40 years ago and I can't even...

It's fixed!!!! Many thanks.

Gravity fed or mains pressure? Really coudn't tell you. How would I know? ***Sorry*** Ignore that. Just undone the gland nut (not sure why I didn't notice there was a nut there before!) and the water is seeping from inside there. The thread on the nut is slightly corroded so I'll pack it...
