yep also if you look at the flush pipe it’s not totally round and hadn’t been cut very well and leaked ever since install only just noticed due to carpet getting wet about 10 feet away

Very interesting had a similar job 2-3 weeks ago, insurance job and I was stripping out for a builder and I found the flush pipe had been leaking at the cistern connection for a lonngg time! Would hard water perish the rubber seal??

Easily done, however a professional plumber would check & check again if he was a professional plumber!

When I refitted the one mentioned above I flushed the wc at least 10x to check no leaks!

That's the thing with water it tracks and may not appear near to where it's actually leaking from - as you guy's in the Plumbers Arms know DO IT RIGHT FIRST TIME>>>>

no combination of bad cut on the flush pipe and going in dry were the issues now the problem to try and find spares as it’s 10 plus years old it’s an abcaus so I’m hoping

Fitted this rad during the week - must've weighed at least 50 kgs. SIP walls with roofing batten and plasterboard so had to polyurethane glue timber between plasterboard and SIP to get a decent fixing.
