......save the seat fouling on the handle......

  Eeeeewwwwwwww!.........`dirty boy!

how did I know someone would pick up on that 

[Marks DTM Calib]

ahh ok, didnt look like a flapper style,

b&q and screwfix are next to each other, so ill have a look at em all 

Yes, its a system that has a piston type setup with a rubber seal....so press short flush and it flushes for as long as you press it, press long flush and it flushes a set volume which is set via the float which you can see around the central column.

cool, sounds good, and a good price, think thats decision made.

I gather some of the flapper type are sensitive to dirt in the tank, are they cistern block compatible do you know?

We use a block in our without probs (not a bloo btw, I can't pee into funny coloured water!).

The type I listed will be ebtter as it has some additional surround to keep the blcoks away from the valve seat.....a standard flapper would be more prone to issues I would say!

Went for that design as it seemed more robust and weighty, plus had a 10 year guarantee, and I didnt like the square button of the fluidmaster type.  your link looked much neater

Save you blowing it apart.

What size is the "push button" thingy The hole where the present handle spindle goes through don't look very big to me ...   :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

[Jimbob]

the push button is about 1.25" diameter, will stick out about 1"

the bit that goes through the hole is about 1/2" so shouldnt be a problem

guess it would 'flush' mount (  ) on some of the newer cisterns
