Here is the top and bottom of the tap....would I be right in thinking I need some sort of Allen key to fit in the bottom of the tap to remove the divertor?

Thanks jeff the gasman...I'll have a look tonight to see if I can see how to remove the mechanism.

Thanks....looking at the exploded view on shower doctors site it may be that that part is replaceable.

Hi, The plunger on my bath shower mixer tap has become stuck.....we haven't used it for a few years since putting in an ensuite shower. We'd like to start using it again as the kids are getting older now but the plunger is stuck and will not move. We have tried descaling it from the outside...

Just fitted a new dimmer switch and all sorted... Thanks.

Cheers for the reply...The dimmer would be the cause of the initial bang and flash? or are you saying that was just a bulb going and it's the dimmer that is now preventing the light working? what voltage should I see from the live 230v?

Hi Had the light up in my living room for the last 8 years or so without problem. Light is controlled by a dimmer switch. The other day the missus turned it on and heard a loud bang with what she described as a bright flash. When we took the bulbs out one of them had blown but the other two...

Well I used a thin small flat blade screwdriver to make a small void behind the lugs then used a thin nose pair of pliers to bend and twist the lugs....after no much fettling the head broke off the anchor and I was able to push the rest into the cavity. These should fill nicely...happy with the...

It is a closed coupled cistern...and an option to consider, thanks.

The previous flooring was vinyl, possible 2-3mm...now I have laminate as the vinyl didn't stick well to the concrete floor so the toilet now sits higher due to the underlay and laminate (good quality). When in position I can still see the top half of the wall anchors but sadly cant see enough of...

Hi, Sounds like these could be a nightmare to sort. Rather than drill the heads is it possible to bend the lugs with pliers and push into the wall that way or is drilling the only real option? Cheers George

Hi, I'm afraid I can't leave them in as the cistern hasn't moved up that much.....they are half visible with the cistern holes but not enough to screw into. I'm not bothered about using them again I just wanted to know how to remove as they stop me installing new fixings. Cheers George

Hi, These fixings are used to secure my toilet cistern to an internal stud wall....they use a thinnish bolt with a screw head. I've installed new flooring now and need to relocate the fixings for the cistern a bit higher....I've never seen these before, does anyone know how to remove them? I...

Thanks for the replies....the plug hadn't melted it was just pushed against the material on the back of the old appliance. I have now fitted one of these which has the added advantage of the cable entry being through the bottom.
