    Thank you so much for your video ❤. I'm a single mum on a tight budget and your video helped me fix my toilet for $92. Now I will save more money from my toilet not continually filling up.

    Thank you. I never could have done it without you. It did not come with a Manual and with Dyslexia I struggle to understand. I cannot believe it is Fixed! No leaks, No Noise ...it fills and flushes. All the things it did not do before. A new Cistern was the Solution. With only 1 Aged Pension I am so grateful to you. ps: I did put the bracket upside down and reversed it. Very, very grateful to you Bill.

  • @bosschichi

    This was really good advice, replaced a cistern today and the knowledge from this helped. I had to get a new dura pan cone (black rubber inlet connecter for the water from cistern to toilet pan via the right-hand PVC pipe bend) and a tip from the guy at the shop was to turn the larger end in on itself before putting it over the smaller PVC pipe side, then roll it over the larger pipe inlet into the toilet pan connection point. If that doesn't work try putting it into hot/boiling water first to get it pliable. The turn in method worked wonderfully for me.
    Thanks for your video man, hope it helps heaps more 🤙

    Thanks so much for making this video. Because of your video we changed both our toilets. We watched your video several times and took on board your advice and instructions from what to buy and how to DIY, ie. Estilo toilet, better screws, spring loaded center punch. Two staff members at bunnings didn't have a clue the advantage of the spring loaded center punch and couldn't even direct me to the correct isle in their maze of insanely confusing isles of where to find it. . I did find it in the tool section. Drill bits, power tools etc. No toilets leaking and it's been a few weeks! Thanks agan.
