    Electricity not working in flat?

    My toliet has a leak?

    OK put a brand new one on, that cost me £20, and guess what still damp. I woulds say that is how I would describe it, damp rather than wet, though its definitely 'leaking' even if only a little. This expandable outlet pipe went on quite easy actually, and does seem to slip maybe 2-3mm at...

    My toliet has a leak?

    OK so to be clear I really had to force the connector on, this means I've stretched it or something that means I need a new one? I was thinking it was the back of the toilet not being a perfect circle of something, not that I can see that.

    My toliet has a leak?
