I have their lawn mower and batteries last ages. Looking into getting the whole system since they are cheaper than Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee etc.

I keep fish, one of the best ways to get rid of old sealant is paint remover.

Thanks. After over 5 years mines started to leak. I've been meaning to put an isolation valve on it for AGES like I have with all my pipe but I never got around to it. The type in this video is useless, they stop working after a short period, the best type are the one's with a 'grip handle', I've never had a problem with them. I will now use the leak I have as a chance to put an insulation valve on. Until I'm in a position to stop ALL my water from the main valve can you help me by telling me how I stop water re-entering my systen once I flush? It was easy with the old Bullcock system, you just kept it in the upwards position which stopped water going back in. Thanks

Great video. My cistern is of a really helpful design where the mains inlet is tucked nicely away between two porcelain gills which made it soooo much fun to disconnect!! What is wrong with the people who make these things??

Many thanks for the video, I wasn't sure how to remove the coupling kit plate so your video was invaluable. Thanks again, Jon in Sheffield

Thanks, great review

I had followed another video about replacing all the workings in our toilet, and even though I replaced the coupling kit, I was getting water leaking from around the wingnuts. What that video failed to mention was to use Plumbers Mait to stop any leaks. Purchased a tub and dismantled the cistern again...now no leaks! So thanks for putting this video up👍

Brilliant. Campbeltown. Mull of Kintyre Scotland. Well Done 😊

Oh my God, I woke up with black spots on my neck 🕷🕷🕷 aaaaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhhh

This has helped me out, thanks 👍

Hi sherlock. Will this handle be slammable? Also if peter piper picked a pepper with his pickle how many peppers would peter poo?

Wow! What a great video. Please can you make a video for everything and anything I might ever need to know!😀

My toilet is fully enclosed but keeps leaking into the toilet bowl, All that gets done is a replacent washer on what i think is the return valve which can be seen here on the right hand side of the cistern (inside). Is this correct or should it have done what you have done in this video as it has leaked 3x in the past 10 days (same issues) everyime?

🎉🎉Congratulations on your 1k woohoo 🎉🎉

Wery nise innformation addwise 👍

Good video. I see plenty of people have had a seriously rusty plate when removed, mine was the same causing the metal to expand. Your tip of putting some Plumbers Mait underneath it and pushed into the gap is brilliant. I can't help thinking this close coupled thing is a bad design, never have trouble with the old cistern pipe to bowl types. For those saying the fat rubber doughnut is too thick Wickes do a flat ribbed rubber washer which is better than the foam flat one you get with most plates and/or syphons. My inlet valve was also leaking around the valve base where the conical rubber washer sits in the cistern. That washer was hard and I've searcrd all over for a replacement which I can't find unless you buy a whole new valve so I put the old one back but with more Plumber Mait in the gap. Jobs a goodun.

I TOTALLY CONCURE @russelfrancis 7 months ago This is one of the best tutorial videos on youtube. Its clear, concise, and whenever you might have a "what do I do now" moment, it's covered. Great job.

Thanks. Great video. It gave me the confidence to give it go myself after plumber never got back to me.

Great video Middlesbrough

hello, if the 2 bolts go through my actuall basin do i still need to fit a metal plate thank you!

Mate, was looking for some help to put wallpaper on the chimney breast, yours is 10 out of 10. Thx you are the best

Really useful telling us what lube, sealants etc are out there. It'd be interesting to tell us what a typical plumber would charge for the job so Mr/s DIY feels all the more chuffed when they do it themselves. Thank you.

Thanks this video really solved the issue for me. I tried reusing the old coupler ( doughnut). Bought a new one from the same manufacturer as the flush valve and fit perfectly.

Thanks Mark. I hate this job but you make it look not so bad and you're a great son for helping your mama. God bless y'all Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🐴🌿❣️🇺🇸

Thank you for your video. We just managed to fix our leaking cistern. Your video was very helpful to us.

A couple of comments - Firstly in an old cistern the butterfly nuts will be corroded to the bolts, getting them out without damaging the ceramic is a pig of a job - Secondly before applying the Plumbers Mait to the joint between the plate and the cistern I would have cleaned the bottom of the cistern.

How thick will it cut through.

All good, brilliant tutorial and good tips....... except.......... why would you be using VDE screwdrivers for anything not electrical? I would also use some boss green thread compo on the water inlet as well as replacing the seal just in case.

Thanks for this fella, great video. Bought one after watching to replace my smokey old Screwfix "Mountfield" petrol trimmer, and it's so nice to not have fumes, ear-spitting noise, two stroke oil dripping from the exhaust, having a bottle of two stroke oil in the garage, draining out fuel every time I store it, not to mention the ordeal of actually trying to get the damn thing started. It's an absolute no-brainer, My only regret is I didn't get one years ago! Thanks again, keep up the great work.

Brilliant video, really clear and top tip with the Plumber’s Mait Thanks 🙏

Any update on this machine?????

Great clear video. No excessive talking like other tutorials and clearly know what you are doing. A thumbs 👍 from me.

Excellent video - and very patient in explaining everything. Also makes it look so easy which we know it isn't. Thanks for all the advice 👍

Great tutorial. Clear and concise. Many thanks.

Excellent tutorial thank you A+++++

Nice thank you.👍👍👍

Very nicely and thorougly explained. A very useful how-to tutorial.

Great stuff mate. Excellent tutorial.

This is one of the best tutorial videos on youtube. Its clear, concise, and whenever you might have a "what do I do now" moment, it's covered. Great job.

Suggest checking for leaks by putting a bit of water in the cistern. Can save a lot of filling fiddling.

That was a great help ,thanks.

Nice video

Thank you so much for a very clear, understandable video. I watched a couple of other videos before seeing yours and they were not as clear as yours. They also made assumptions that the viewer would know what they were talking about and skipped, what I needed to know, essential steps. Thank you again.

Just a brilliant well filmed and described video. Well done Sherlock!

Excellent work mate! Nice clear and no nonsense demonstration!

Good vid thanks 👏🏼

Just watched this as a memory refresher, getting on a bit now 😳 and have a leaking doughnut, you advised using plumbers mate, good idea and added bit of insurance, I asked someone about using silicon seal ?? ( plumbing shop ) and he said no, no way. Is there a lot of difference between silicon seal and plumbers mate ?? If you see this your additional advice would be greatly appreciated, but should you not see this, I will wait until Monday morning and get some plumbers mate. Thanks in anticipation, Les.

Very helpful. Thank you

Just what I needed to know very well explained thanks
