Just finished installing the loo in my new shower room. One of B&Qs
finest (Barcelona IIRC). I was rather surprised to find that the pan
only has two screw fixings right at the back of its pedestal and nothing
at all at the front. The (close coupled) cistern sits on the back of the
pan and is attached by two feeble plastic wing nuts that are in a
sufficiently inaccessible place as to be difficult to get much more than
finger tight, and the cistern does not fix to anything. The net result
is a loo not too far off being mobile!

Are they all this bad these days?

Anyway, having made sure there are no leaks between the close coupled
bits, I have siliconed them together (at the same time as sealing the
join between pan and cistern), and placed a couple of large blobs of
silicone behind the cistern to fix it to the wall. Hopefully when that
has set it should all feel a bit more rigid.
