So, after buying new waste fitting and applying a handful of plumbers mait
the exit from the pan is now sealed.....only for me to discover that the
leak is in fact coming from the flush (entry) pipe! I could of course go
down the plumbers mait route again but if I could avoid it I would. Any
suggestions.

have a small problem.
'er indoors felt the need for a new en-suite - so yay and verily it was
so.
Everything has been going smoothly (or as smoothly as removing and
fitting a
new en-suite can go) but after fitting the new toilet, I seem to have a
small leak from the waste pipe.
Now I could go pulling it apart etc, but if any of you chaps had any
sage
advice about fitting toilets - and in particular ensuring that the watse
is
well and truly sealed - I would be most grateful.
Get a gun and some sanitary silicone.
Empty bowl as far as possible.
Get her to **** and pee somewhere else for 6 hours.
Inject the stuff into any place it will go (around the waste joint of
the toilet that is..)
Clean up with white spirits and a ****load of bogroll. (the toilet, that
is).
Took about 3 goes to seal every little chink in mine, but its rock solid
now (the toilet, that is).
