Might have to do that Thing is , they had an empty room and a full new bathroom delivered to fit in it , plus they had a van full of tools but still managed to cock everything up, cistern not level on wall or square with it, water entry pipe at...

Not sealing down properly as well then. Just put a new (decent) flush valve into it yourself

Well it did fill and then two thirds of it would flush away, but after last flush it runs from cistern into bowl constantly and water running into cistern trying to top it up but failing so I'm back to flushing with a bucket of water :(

It's full, actually slightly overflowing, it doesn't actually empty, always about a third full even after a flush EDIT, flushed it and the cistern is emptying constantly now

Is your cistern full of water (once finished refilling)?

:D Toilet paper takes two flushes and then it gets sucked slowly away at the very last minute

That would make quite a floater imo.

I think they were based on aircraft seatbelts ...

I screwed half a sheet of A4 paper up and it wouldn't flush it away, took 3 flushes !

Modern loos are rubbish aren't they? So often. But the flush being slow is weird. Ours flush quick enough there just often isn't sufficient volume of watter to shift stuff. And of course the float is adjusted up to the max.

I had forgotten about the lights in the rear bins! And yes only my ma's had the chrome catches, although my first one was a 1963 de luxe it had the placcy ones. I could never afford a Cooper, or, more importantly, the insurance. I had a bad habit...
