Toilet Syphon Repair

[porkchop]

Our Close Coupled Toilet cistern has a MACDEE METRO 3 Part Syphon Range which requires replacement or repair. Is it true that this particular syphon can be replaced WITHOUT having to unscrew and take off the entire cistern? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

It will have a collar on the syphon tube .. just unscrew it. Then undo the lever link and you wil have access to the syphon chamber. Expect your diaphram has split ?
If it has just remove it and get some heavy polythene and draw round it and cut a new one out. Infact I always fit two diaphrams .. one on top of the other, just to make the repair last longer.
