    Omg, you’re a Superstar!! I was actually scratching my head at this thinking I’d have to call in a plumber to fix my toilet. But I managed to do it myself following this ❤️thanks mate!

    Brilliant thanks. 20 years ago my dad would have to call out a plumber to sort a simple job like this. Now thanks to RUclips we can do these simple fixes by ourselves 👍🏻

    Absolute legend mate. I had 3 ppl come to my place and quoted me from $700 to $3500 to fix the issue i had with the buttons. I was able to do it myself after watching your video and it only costed me $20. Keep up the good work :)

    @nevilletaylor7654 8 месяцев назад

    Thank you for this video, I did not have a clue how to get the lid off before I saw your video. The little button had less of a ledge to lever it up then I expected and it helped to stick the little button back in first to make sure the 3 holes were all lined up when putting it back together and hold the ring down and remove the small button and screw down the central plastic screw. I was peering in before that with a flashlight and poor eyesight thinking I will never get this lined up. The float was stuck on the bar it slides up and down on, I prodded it and it got unstuck and slid down to where it's supposed to go when the cistern is empty and then the cistern started to refill. I hope I don't have to go back there again. Thank you again.
