toilet leaking between cistern and toilet pan

[dhutch]

Thanks for all the Pee taking chaps I think I will slap a lot of silicone on it until we can afford to replace with a new one. If I find anymore bodge jobs around the house I will let you know.

Sounds good to me. If you can get it to seal, and the flush performance is ok, ulitmatly what more do you want.

Even the proper close coupled angle on the amatage loos I spoke of before failed a few years about (circa 17yo) and are now held together with silicon. Three years and counting on that.

Cut it all out, clean it all down, dry it all off, leave it 24hour without using it so its really dry, then get as much silicon in there there as you can, nice big bead over the top to finish, proberbly get you a few years minimum till you can do something else or just do it again.

Its not holding an real presure, and only when the flush is actually in progress, so its not going pour water everywhere randomly one day when your on holiday.

Our Duravit cistern has a leak between the flapper valve and toilet pan. The videos on U-Tube show the flush unit can be removed by twisting on the unit or by pressing two locking levers and lifting it out. Our unit has neither does that mean we have to split the cistern from the toilet bowl?
