My toilet flush broke last night. It's a syphon unit and the plastic bit which attaches to the flushing handle and pulls the thing up to flush had snapped. The plastic sheet on the thing looked worn too so I think it was ready to go.
I've checked with local plumbing place and they don't sell the replacement plastic part, only the whole syphon unit which isn't too expensive anyway.
All the guides online seem to say that you have to remove the long pip which goes into the bowl below which seems a bit tricky.
At the top of this pipe, there is a standard screw with a ubend (screws on each side) - is it possible to just replace the part which attachest to the ubend thing instead of taking the whole thing off? None of the guides online seem to mention how to do that though.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
This isn't my toilet but it looks like a similar design
It unscrews at either side of the u bend thing...
It's like this excet it's in two parts so I don't see the point in removing the up/down pipe thing.
It's the part labled vertical rod which has snapped, I could do with a new "flap" too. If these are standard fit, can you buy them anywhere?[/url]
