My friends closed couple toilet would leak whenever it was flushed
So i replaced the 2" doughnut and cistern bolts
This stopped the leak for a few days but now she says that it is leaking again. She cannot pinpoint the leak, apart from 'it's coming from the bottom of cistern again'
I now plan to replace all of the parts that I can e.g. flush valve, fill valve, new doughnut, water isolator and toilet water connector
When putting the new parts together, can I get some advice of some of the techniques to avoid leaks?
For example use silicone or ptfe tape in certain places
