Is there a reasonable DIY/Trade question or problem that NSC cannot solve?

Here is my first attempt.

We have a P2 combination toilet and sink in downstairs loo, installed by previous owners. The valve is faulty and leaks water into the pan.

Q. How can I know exactly what type of valve is needed and source the right one that will fit and solve the issue?

Photos are the only way someone on here can give advice, apart from coming round and looking.
Post a photo of inside the cistern if possible

I fitted one of these toilets a couple of weeks back, inside the cistern / below the basin was a bit of a challenge.

You'd certainly be cack handed if you washed in the wrong bit of a combined toilet and sink.

Notorious for the flush valve to let by on these - Any soap/debris from hand washing goes past flush valve seal/washer and also sticks to it making a gap. Not sure how you will get any pics from inside cistern, but even make/model will help.

A: Google.

You’re welcome. 🙂

You were right! NSC came through again.
