Still leaking into the pan from the cistern
The cistern has been leaking into the pan constantly for ages, so today I’ve replaced the fill valve, the doughnut/ coupling washer and the flush valve. All working fine, except there is still a steady flow of water leaking into the pan as it was before. It’s driving me bonkers!! So the cistern leaks water out, then refills itself, then leaks, then refills...etc. Any ideas?

Macerator toilets - are they any good?
We're thinking of adding an extra toilet and we've been told it's tricky to plumb in and should consider installing a macerator. I'm not sure I like this solution as it seems overly complicated and a bit icky, so I would like the professional opinion of a plumber. Is this a good, reliable and hygienic solution, or not?
Heavy toilet cistern
I have a mid rise (Very heavy) cistern that needs to be fitted to a tiled plaster boarded wall. There are no battens to fix it to where it needs to go and the wall behind that is very old disintegrating brick, so I was wondering what sort of weight would be safe to hang to the wall and what fixings would be best If it it possible to do? Many thanks.
