mystery bog problem

[mutley racers]

Just went to a house that has 2 bogs. 1 upstairs and one down stairs. Apparently the one down stairs has just started to bubble and drain slowly. The one upstairs is fine. So the downstairs one is a straight run of pipe about 3 metres through the kitchen to an elbow with an access that goes straight into floor. Now I thought there would be a blockage where the pan connector connects into the pan but was wrong. I actually could open the access help on the elbow and look down through the pan connecter and see clearly. So no blockage. When I put the pan back and left the access cap off, the toilet flushes fine. So I was thinking maybe a durgo valve had failed or something. But, I could not find a durgo any where. I thought as it has just started happening, something must have failed. But no. Any suggestions

Customers are very good at forgetting when things started. Can you put a tee in with a vent or no-where to put it.

Although if it's the same drain run it shouldn't need it. Is the vent clear from debris/birds nests on the stack.

I didn't have time to check tonight but, thought it would be ok as the one on the 1st floor flushes alright

not quite sure what you mean? A secondary stack that's blocked?

There's a partial blockage below the junction of the downstairs W.c and the stack.
