About this deal

The wife has even hinted that we might partake in some extra curricular activities tonight, thanks to me saving a plumbers bill. I simply unclipped the little plastic box from the underside of the flush button, and squirted a generous glug of WD40 into the box through the hole that the flush plunger pokes into.

When I leave in the morning the cistern is at the max fill (6L) marker, however when I get home it's sat at the minimum marker (4.

I've tried to include as many pictures as possible in the hope all this makes sense and hopefully prevents you from having to pay for a plumber to visit. You can save on the squirting a bit by opening the little plastic box (one small Philips screw and a bit of levering) and getting at the cable directly, but before you open it look carefully at how much of the cable outer is showing. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).I've looked around t'internet and it would seem the water running would be down to a problem with the flush valve. The internal overflow prevents any excess water from spilling over and causing flooding, and it has an adjustable range of 190 mm to 330 mm. Derwent Macdee has been at the forefront of modern cistern development, and its comprehensive range is testament to its commitment to exceptional product performance and sustainable use. Maybe this bit was overkill but I also disconnected the cable on both ends and cleaned the visible parts - the was some gunk and, after taking the spray diffuser off the WD40 can I forced a whole load of WD40 down inside the cable sheath - again pulling the cable a couple of dozen times to move the WD40 around.

just been fiddling around with the cistern again and it seems to have filled up - I also can't see any sign of water running into the bowl! The trouble is that the pully /plunger assembly is on 2 guide rails on the inside of the unit and it gets stuck and gravity can't pull it closed after you press the button. The Kayla cable operated dual flush valve from Derwent Macdee is one of the number one sellers in the replacement market.I then sprayed a load of WD40 onto the guide rails and the pully mechanism and then pulled on the cable repeatidly to get the WD40 to move around and do its buisness.

what I find a bit odd is the fact that the plunger doesn't kick in to fill it back up as on the old "ball" cisterns the more the level dropped the more it would put back in.

If you are lucky enough to have a downstairs toilet then shove a half empty toilet roll under the lever to keep it open on cold. I then used a pencil to poke down the same hole and wiggle the small blue lever until it happily sprung back cleanly again.
