Toilet Flusher Advice

[bmouthboyo]

Hi guys,

Recently my toilet needs 2 - 3 good cranks of the handle to get it to flush which I think points to a perished flusher diaphragm.

Before I attempt to replace the flusher I wondered if I could run a few questions by you all.

1. Am I right in thinking I will need to replace the entire flusher mechanism and cannot just replace the diaphragm?
2. Given this toilet is old (70's) will I struggle to find the correct fitting parts (Imperial vs Metric?)
3. At the moment it drips from the inlet valve attached to the float, can I simply replace this?
4. Any other advice?

That is exactly what I was hoping for, thank you for the reply

Can I double check that they are suitable for my single flush 2.5 Gallon (11 litre) cistern?

Yes, they will fit.

On the float valve, just change the parts that are inside the cistern and the internal red inlet valve inside the float valve.

One last question as collecting parts today. Seems the rubber washers on my cistern have perished. Do these have a specific name?
