I recently had my water board round for free fitting of dual flush mechanism.
They said my cistern already had a dual flush (news to me) but it did not work as some part had rotted away leaving 2 small holes. Hence it always does a full flush. The guy said the holes needed to to be filled, but did not want to touch them for fear the age meant the whole mechanism would fail.
I honestly didn't really understand what he was saying or how this mechanism works so am now considering
a) filling these holes, but how/what with, to make the dual flush work?
b) replacing the whole mechanism given it seems to be past its natural life, but again, not sure how easy this is or how to do it.
