Toilet cistern repairs

The loo is dribbling water!

Ordered this (click & collect) from Bunnings on Sunday and only got the email OK to collect this morning!

Caroma porcelain dual flush cistern about 15 years old – the cover is quite heavy!


While pulling up on the dual flush mechanism bend the plastic tabs back to release the unit which will then float. Lift it up and out.



ET was convinced the new seal was to small and yes... I had to have a second go to get the bugger to seat and seal (dipped in soapy water) on the bottom of the convex plunger.

Initially the seal would pop up (no good) so I had to keep working my way around to centre the seal with even tension all the way around - it then popped down! The other thing I had to do was gently clean the fine ring of gunk around the outlet hole with a kitchen scrubber.
