toilet

| If so then it's the 'Flap Valve' that's failed, this by itself is only
| normally a small flimsy piece of plastic, but normally it's easier to

just
| buy a new siphon. These take about 15 minutes to fit and generally cause
| minimum fuss (providing you turn the water off first!).

| Hope this helps a little.

handle

| | I pump it and still no better.
| | I took the lid of and noticed that the lever setting (IE a bit of

wire)
| was
| | on the highest pull.
| | There seems not to be enough suction to pull the water over the

siphon.
| | I hope this makes sense. Is it a plumber job or something I might be
able
| to
| | sort out before I top myself :-(

No friend serious question it was and thank you for the response.
How many people actually use their real name?
