So I twist this bit higher or lower? Will it come out if it unscrews too much? I had to turn the water off as it showed no sign of stopping but don’t forget that the flush thing is now loose in there since I unscrewed it.

I know how to fill the bottle for the screen washer! Hubby did all maintenance here. I never did any 'blue' jobs

The iPhone X is waterproof ?. I am taking the phone with me every time now since I got my arm stuck and had to draw blood to get it out! Looks like I’m a self harmer now! I’m not sure what extra this one shows tbh.

Where the hell have you had your hands?

Well plumbing’s off the list if I ever fancy a career change ?. Maybe that bit only comes out if you remove the other bit first? Can’t see how you have enough room in there to turn the thing without either it unclipping somehow or the other bit being removed.

What the hell language is this??

So the small bit definitely unclips I reckon as there are slots in it, but I need to unclip the larger bit first. Any ideas how? If the German guy in the Gerberit video says it’s easy to unclip one more time ?. Yeah easy for you to say mate! ?

Ha ha! Day off today! I'm bloody sure those bits sticking up have to unattach somehow and a voddy would clearly make that happen .

Nails are getting wrecked . See, women can't be plumbers, it messes with their manicures!

If I have a voddy it’ll be coming out in bits! I’ve been googling but have ended up on the Screwfix forum where people are being called knobs for fitting a wall hung one to start with. And all the videos I’ve found are for installation not maintenance. In the gerberit video looks like the bits that stick up unclip to make it shorter. Is that what I need to do? These bits.

Most of the doors downstairs are double doors (1650) but the few that aren't are 838. All single doors upstairs also 838.

Thanks. I've managed to get it off (arms now look like I've had a fight with a bramble bush - I won't be giving up the day job ). I can't get the unit out though as it seems too long to get through the small hole .

So the thing with the 2 plastic rectangles goes inside a larger tube further down. Is it the tube going into the larger one that I need to remove or the actual larger one? ?

Thanks. I found that one but wasn't sure how relevant it was for a wall hung affair. Is it pretty much all the same and should I start unscrewing it?

Thanks. Do I have to take the thing out somehow to check? I've found some 'instructions' but it's just a collection of crap photos and doesn't state a make anywhere.

Nope. As soon as it flushes even with the tank then empty it is letting a small trickle of water out into the bowl somehow when the flush stops. When it refills the trickle becomes a flow and it continues to fill. Does the silver knob just determine how fast the water flows in?

Done that but the cistern refills and starts overflowing again. Not sure if it's relevant but there are some bubbles flowing up from within the cistern.

A crap one! @PeterW said he thought they were Abacus I think.

Yep, water stops.

Thanks! Too impatient to do it one at a time so now it’s buy one get one free . I think there are 2 different issues. When I flush the upstairs one it stops quite happily so the issue it has with not stopping the water 100% must be to do with the flush mechanism not being attached / working properly when connected. This is what I have, and all quiet on the Western front. Downstairs however with everything disconnected the water continues to run through the cistern. If I pull up the bit circled quite hard it stops but as soon as I let it go it continues to run. So setting aside reattaching the upstairs one for a mo, how can I fix the issue with the one downstairs please?

@richi would you also be so kind as to add them here too please:

Since I have so far failed to get a plumber out here and I have a number of jobs that need doing I thought that I had better try some of them myself. This is way out of my comfort zone so I’ll be needing quite a lot of help ?. As I don’t know what anything is called I am going to try it @Onoff style with photos. So first up I have a cistern in the loo downstairs that won’t stop running and need to fix it. I am going to attempt to remove everything in one of the ensuite bathrooms that aren’t used to begin with to practice on before tackling the downstairs one. This is what I have when I’ve removed the flush plate and the first panel. I assume that I now need to remove the next white panel so do I just unscrew the 2 things either side? Then what?

Well you are definitely following this thread now. Change your notifications so that they appear within the app. At least you will see something when you log in.

Where is this from please? I couldn’t see it for that price. My brother is looking at the Tesla Powerwall. Does this do the same thing?

Fabulous!
