Water leaking past my WC spigot!

Hi all I am having a real nightmare with a WC that I am fitting at the moment, in fact I have just taken it out again for the third time and am slightly miffed to say the least. The WC is one of those 'designer' ones where all the connections are concealed within the body of the WC, the outflow from the pan is horizontal from the back and I have a 'space saver' P connector fitted the back which drops into a hole in the floor of the bathroom (concrete ground floor). The Pan is a real git to fit as it has to be assembled and lowered into position from above complete with cistern (if you can imagine what I mean) :cry: However when I get the WC fitted and secured all appears to be ok, even after several flushes, however after returning later there is a little water leaking from what appears to be where the spigot attaches to the connector. Close examination of the WC spigot shows it is quite rough and has slight gouges in it, this will not be helping the seal I am sure. Has anybody more experienced than me come across this problem in the past and if so what did you do to overcome the problem? Alternatively if the external bore of the spigot is not smooth should I be recommending that that WC pan is returned for a replacement?

Many thanks,

Mark
