Hi,

My wife thinks the toilet is not flushing properly. I had a split in the flush diaphragm which I have replaced but she is still not happy.

Questions

1) Is there a special technique to replacing the flush diaphragm as the hole in the replacement didn't seem to match those already there?

2) Is it worth replacing the whole siphon? Would a 7,8,9" one be best?

3) Is the postion of the cistern over the hole critical in order to obtain a good flush?

4) The toilet seat also needs replacing. Is there a best one to buy in terms of the back fixing. Are there special techniques to fixing especially in terms of stopping movement of he seat.

I only want a quiet life...... you know what I mean. Please help!

you got the wrong one, theres loads on the market all look very similar but the holes are different, sugest you take the diaphragm holder to your wholesalers and get the riht one.Dont we all

Cheers for that, are the holes critical?

Hi Simon,

As gasspark says there are loads of different types of Syphon.

These are popular as you do not need to replace the whole syphon when the diagphram is damaged-

Toilet seats are a pain in the arse, even if you buy one of the fancy controlled lowering ones. The main thing is to ensure that all fitting pieces are used and that the nuts/bolts are tight.

I have been meaning to do a tutorial on how to change a syphon, but I have never got around to it

Buy a new siphon, and measure the old to see the size you need.

I fit toilet seats with plastic bolts, which may sound naff until you realise the fekkin metal bolts rust and you have to saw the bastids off . . .
