The old syphon broken off so when I took off the cistern I unscrewed the bit left in. Laugh it up!!

Well I took the cistern off and fitted my new syphon. Easy when you know how!!!! It works perfectly and has resolved my problem flush. Thanks for all the feedback :D

I've taken a picture of the cistern but have no idea how to up load it - I'm a bit of a technophobe! I think the problem is that the syphon should be screwed in but I can't be physically srewed in because there is not enough room to rotate it in the cistern. I think I will give up and call a...
