its a round donut shaped washer that sits between the cistern and pan,
after removing and re fitting the toilet a couple of times and
probably tightening it a bit much its ended up wet and squashed, so i
need another one before fitting the WC for the last time. anyone know
where i can get one? screwfix and diy shops dont seem to stock them?/

Everybody stocks them!

There are different sizes though, take the old one with you.

Worth buying a tub of Plumbers Mait as well.

the one that came with the toilet is a foam sort of material, like
what is used for packaging things in a box. different to the rubber
one in the wickes / screwfix link. i guess it might be a cheap one b
and q sell with suites. for 2.99 i might as well get the screwfix
package, but what is that metal plate thing? oh like the donut maker
btw lol

The metal plate & bolts are one method of connecting the cistern to the pan,
you should already have them or similar.

You just need the Wickes one.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember benpost
saying something like:

They're pretty much all foam type - they have to be to squash down
properly.

The plate is for some cisterns that don't have two holes for fixing
bolts, it is trapped under the big plastic nut and shorter bolts slide
into it and are passed down through the pan holes.
