Toilet

[russell]

We ixed our toilet last week because the cistern was leaking water into the bowl the whole time. Now we have no leak but we have to hold the button down whilst flushing otherwise the seal snaps shut straight away. How can I fix this? Is it easy?

Is it easy?you have a lever action on the bottom of the flush unit?? if has a suction rubber on it, that needs replacing too.

Usually that is caused by the chain being too long or the trip lever wearing out and not moving far enough to raise the ball all the way. But the other cause could be if you slid the new unit over the pipe and also used the two tabs on the side of the pipe. If so, cut the end off where it says CUT and put it back on the two tabs.: We ixed our toilet last week because the cistern was leaking water into the bowl the whole time.
