Bl***y thing is still leaking a tiny amount of water, I'm going to strip the whole cistern down this evening, probably didn't use enough Plumbers mait between pan and cistern. Watch this space! :twisted:

thanks Pete the leak, I've had this thing to pieces so many times in the last 24 hours I think I know what it's like to make Frankenstein!
