My ideal standard toilet (concealed unit) was leaking into the pan. Changing the washer didn't solve the problem. We discovered one of the clips on the unit which holds the flush valve is broken. Does anybody know how these holding units are replaced? Do they just screw out, for example? And how are they accessed? As the whole thing is behind a wall, with only a small hole behind the flush plate for access, it is very difficult knowing how to fix the bloomin' thing!

We are assuming the broken clip and the flush valve being loose is the cause of the problem.

PS We're not plumbers.
 
clips on the unit or the base unit (where it slots into) if its the base unit you will need access to the bottom of the cistern sorry to say
 
Clip being broken means the valve is not locked down so water seeps under the rubber seal you replaced.
 
Hmmm, that's what I was worried about! What does this involve? Removing the toilet for access?

base then your in the poo sorry to say

two options in front or behind if stud wall
 
What do you mean by in front? There is no stud panel.

can you take a pic of the front plz

and is it on a stud wall or solid wall
 
It's a solid wall. There are no studs

sorry to say then some of your tiles will have to come off the front, as you will need access maybe time to call a plumber in as there are a few ways to do it
