Brilliant thanks. 20 years ago my dad would have to call out a plumber to sort a simple job like this. Now thanks to KZfaq we can do these simple fixes by ourselves 👍🏻

20 years ago your dad could do everything himself and things weren't so complicated or us so useless.

Absolute legend mate. I had 3 ppl come to my place and quoted me from $700 to $3500 to fix the issue i had with the buttons. I was able to do it myself after watching your video and it only costed me $20. Keep up the good work :)

Just bought my first house today and the toilet was overflowing and the overflow was going into the yard. Now the yard is constantly damp. Now, I’ve adjusted a cistern before but I came to this one and it was sealed! My system is a little different to the one you show but I was able to get the job done and now the yard can dry out. Thanks mate!

Hi Chris, what country do you live in? Only asking as toilets don’t overflow into the back yard unless the sewer line is blocked?
