Thanks for this. The metal arm on my lever snapped this afternoon. Lots of calcium build up on the metal, I live in a hard water area. Got to go out and buy the right sized lever handle. Will try to fix myself - and save some dosh on a plumber! Hopefully!

@LurgsHowToGuides Год назад

Yeh may as well have a go. Best bet is take old handle and mechanism off and take that with you so you can match it up and get one roughly the same size and shape, that will help

@@LurgsHowToGuides Yeah, that's what I'll attempt to do. First I've got to get through the hard calcium build up!

@LurgsHowToGuides 3 года назад

I'm guessing it's one with the built in thermostats, I really don't like the, as they aren't very reliable. I prefer the old turning manually to mix the hot and cold to get the temp you want. Not sure how you install a new thermostat, hope you get it fixed. Good luck.

On the bit where the nut fixes the rod,I've got a (sodding) metal pin that goes through the rod,fixing it in place , which is rusted solid(so I can't move the nut off) . Should I just try snapping the ends off the pin* , so it's as flush to the rod as possible,and then see if I can coax the nut over ? *it's so close to the nut I might just have to file it 😬

@Shez-dc3fn 3 года назад

does anyone know how to fix a situation where the water in the toilet flush 'bowl' doesnt stop and it goes to the overflow pipe? its happening because when the 'big balloon' goes up with water the thing its supposed to 'touch' to stop water flow from the mains isnt working i think if i was to pad it so the gap between the two is less might help.. a video would help - sorry but i dont know the proper terms

@LurgsHowToGuides 3 года назад

If you lift the Cistern Ball with your hand when you flush the toilet does it stop the water filling up the cistern? If it does then it probably just needs adjusting so it shuts off the water at a lower height. If not then it's probably broken.

@Shez-dc3fn 3 года назад

@@LurgsHowToGuides thanks for getting back - much appreciated.. do i need to buy the whole system or can i buy just that part that stops the water? - btw i dont think its adjustable i dont see any adjustable part.. i was thinking to either put another thing to reduce the space so it will press the stop valve early..

@LurgsHowToGuides 3 года назад

They normally are adjustable on a small screw, if not and it's on a metal rod you can literally bend the metal rod so the ball is lower and so it will shut off quicker. Be careful when you bend it.
