hey guys thanks very much for the reply. The toilet does flush with a medium effort but as you say its still a bit slow. Is the diaphragm easy to replace? I have a wooden spoon to use in future when i do another large pooh. I will put the wipes in a bin in future too. :)

it always has been feeble and Hi mate thanks for your reply. It has always been feeble and i have to give it a fast forceful flush of the handle and hold to get it to flush. I might not have let the cistern fill with that last flush so here is another video, i adjusted the water level until...

Many thanks for your reply mate. I will follow your guidance if i buy a this as there has been some improvement today. Ideally i dont need to buy the rod set and plunger but if i do i know what to do. This morning I flushed away the 2 bottles of bleach i left in the toilet overnight? It did...

thanks for your suggestion mate, no harm trying this tomorrow, i can use my kitchen bin, im steeping beach overnight anyways :)

i will probably be charged if it was my doing :)

thanks mate

thanks mate, ill see if i need the 4" rubber and rod tomorrow after the overnight bleach method attempt. ;)

Are these better than the rod and plunger method?

Ok great thanks for letting me know ;)

Hi mate thanks for your reply. The cistern empties when i flush, there seems to be a problem with it flushing and it often needs a sharp fast push for it to work. I have poured the 2 bottles of bleach i have and if this does not work i might need to buy a rod and plunger as suggested. ;)

Many thanks for your reply. What about this set from Toolstation £32 ? So do you recommend doing this from the actual toilet and not the manhole?

thanks for the warning my friend but i need to find a diy way to clear my toilet waste pipe or u bend ;)

Good afternoon and thanks for your reply. From a Diy perspective surely getting a camera is not quite needed at this stage. It looks like the restriction is close to toilet itself so i thought a good plunger might help. Running water into the toilet flows to the manhole which would suggest the...

ok thanks for your reply ;)

Hello guys the house im private renting in has toilet draining problems, it has been fine for over a year so far. I bought a new £10 flange plunger from Amazon, its useless as its out of shape and it wont get a seal. It wont reshape even when i bathe it in warm water. I have severe IBS and i...

Thanks for your reply. I broke the Mcalpine screw and i have ordered another one off of Amazon. I cannot find a Mcalpine 113mm seal and 41mm screw from the same online shop. Toolstation and Screwfix dont sell them either. I have cleaned everything up and decided to reuse the seal and also using...

Im clever now man i beleive its 1 1/2" ID

38.1mm is 1.5 in inches from an engineering point of view. Many thanks for your advice on tightening the nuts on the plastic connectors, they appear to be fine now after a lot of faffing about, i struggled to get a good grip of them so i used crocked neck pliers. No more drips from the pipes...

Many thanks for your reply. I will take the pipe with me to ensure that it fits. I get confused because i come from an engineering background where we normally size things differenlty. From what i have picked up on, the plumbing trade work on internal diameters and not external diameters. Ie 1...

Looking at the drawing the 43mm pipe wont enter a 1 1/2" diameter (38.1mm).
