It was a direct swap, no need to dismantle the cistern just twist out the old body and fit the new one.

The valve is suitable for retro-fit, new installations and high traffic areas and can be used with concealed, close coupled and low level cisterns. It was a direct swap, no need to dismantle the cistern just twist out the old body (I had to twist mine CLOCKWISE) and fit the new one. I've enclosed shots of the cistern and the "plunger" part attached to the lid via the blue tube and was wondering if you kind folks wouldn't mind taking a stab at what the problem might be and how to solve it. The trouble is that the pully /plunger assembly is on 2 guide rails on the inside of the unit and it gets stuck and gravity can't pull it closed after you press the button.When I said "press the bar on the side", in your case this refers to the blue tab close to the cistern lid, as Ayjay says, easily removable. When you push the button to flush, it operates a little leaver inside the small plastic box on the end of the cable attached to the systen lid. Maybe this bit was overkill but I also disconnected the cable on both ends and cleaned the visible parts - the was some gunk and, after taking the spray diffuser off the WD40 can I forced a whole load of WD40 down inside the cable sheath - again pulling the cable a couple of dozen times to move the WD40 around.

just had the exact same thing, kept taking the flush unit out, put it back in and it worked, just once tho then back to square one, lubing the plunger with WD40 works. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . For those who are wondering if this will replace the now out of production AFV40100 or AFV40200, the answer is YES it will!Remove the cable connection from the valve, you usually need to press a bar on the side of the mechanism.

Check the seal at the bottom of the valve sometimes cleaning them of scale can stop them passing water into the bowl.

so I can't get under the cistern to replace any of the "uprights" without breaking away all the tiles Would I have to turn off the water before I turned the "lid" and removed the valve? When I came to put the valve back on I sussed out why there was sealant, as with everything else in this house a bodge has taken place due to them breaking a lug off one side.

Lead times are shown on the product and trolley pages and are always advertised in working days (Monday to Friday). our operatives are all experienced within the industry and are more than happy to help with any questions.turn the valve 1/4 of a turn will dismantle the top of the valve from the base so you can gain access to the seal at the base. In your first picture there is a big white bit and a big blue bit, you need to replace the big white bit, there is a seal at the bottom which has perished. I have had a look at the valve inside the cistern, but was not sure how to disconnect the hose - or the valve for that matter.
