Thanks all. I think I've sorted it. The screw had a washer on it preventing it from being countersunk into the table top, no idea why. I have removed the washer, tightened the nut down so it now sits below the surface like SFK's pic seems ok now. Thanks all.

It is as in the pic really, splash guard and it's pretty much stuck in place. The other thing that is fouling the tile as I try to push it through is the nut that holds the guard in place - top of tape measure, it protrudes so stops the tile going further than that! pretty poor really and it...

Thanks big-all for the reply. I am not sure, tried both ways and it will not pass the guard absolutely no chance If I want the cut the tile in half down the middle as one side of the tile is left other over the right with the guard in the centre. Very annoying, suppose that's why it costs £50.

Hi, Can anyone shed light on this issue, maybe it's me being stupid! I basically can't cut the tile length ways without turning the tile over because the guard mount is in the way. The blue line is where it goes to and then I have to mess about turning it over and it's not great. Any...

Yes it's 3 core, everything is earthed.

Any issues doing this? I had a spare 500w outdoor floodlight doing nothing so I've took the flex of that to wire a couple of downlights and the dimmer switch. I was going to get some 1mm t&e but thought I'd use the spare flex. The flex is clipped in the loft. Any problems doing this??

No idea really on what the sandpaper is to be honest only that I tried 120 grit then 280grit. I have filled and re-sanded it now and just waiting to re-paint it whatever the result I'll stick with it... fingers crossed!

Funny you say that KenGMac, I shall be looking to install downlights soon as the bathroom is getting totally ripped out so that's possible although just knowing will do my head in! Gone for this approach, bit brutal as the rest of the wall is pretty good but took some 180 grit to it - should I...

Hi, Can I improve this at all? I basically used some Easyfill to fill the joint then sanded it and painted it with some Zinsser Perma white and when it dried it looked like below. It looked ok when I was doing it but it's beginning to bug me now and I know it will annoy the hell out of me If...

Thanks for the reply, problem being the postage is a bit silly for just a Cistern on its own Here's the dimensions, it's pretty slimline

Afternoon all, We ordered a new toilet and stupidly forgot about the cistern :oops: Can anyone recommend one that is a side entry (on the right) please to fit this WC unit. Many thanks.

Bump as promised. Ive had time to make some minor adjustments to the pipework leading to the Flange and I also had a go at clearing the airlock via the bath mixer tap and it's better now :) I am not sure which process made it better but happy enough now:) Thanks to everyone for the advice...

Thanks Madrab, it's an odd one that's for sure but like I mentioned before I'll be looking to do that when I get chance. Watch this space (y)

Morning bernardgreen I understand what you're saying BUT I haven't plumbed the pump in yet! I will bare that in mind once I connect it up though.

Yes and the ease of install although not sure on the last bit :D I am tempted to do away with the extra elbow and pipe it up EXACTLY as it was before, whilst researching this also I have noticed every pic I've seen it's elbow>straight pipe>into side of Flange - it's even that way on the install...

That's correct Madrab. I do now have an extra elbow connecting the Flange as opposed before it was one like one elbow then straight down into cylinder. I know it's a minor change but maybe that extra elbow is the cause, ideally I wanted to come off the wall>elbow>into side of Flange but...

Ok, just for you Doggit :) I've been up to the Gods to get a few more pics hopefully better quality and shows the set up better - I have not touched the pipe work in the loft. Any better?

I will, determined to sort this I don't think I am miles off cracking it to be honest Bath Taps are not too bad now but room for improvement - others are ok.

Why's that Doggit, don't leave me :D to be honest so have I nearly :LOL:

Yes, I haven't touched them and the overflow is further on to the left out of shot. Yep, easier said than done! Do you think If I shut of the water and then opened all the taps starting downstairs to up would make a difference? tad annoying this Plumbing lark o_O
