Hi

We have an Ideal Standard dual flush loo which has recently started
to leak (overflow?). It is not clear how to remove the cistern lid as
the dual flush button mechanism seems to be firmly attached to the
flushing device. Can anyone advise how to release the lid?

Thanks

Is this the sort you flush by pressing a button on the top of the lid? If
so, there should be a bezel surrounding the button, which you need to
unscrew. Problem is, there isn't usually much to get hold of to turn it. You
can sometimes do it with a small rubber suction pad, or similar - or maybe
by wearing a rubber glove to give extra grip.

The small rubber sheets sold to allow the elderly to get a better grip
for unscrewing jars and bottles are good, too.
