Help... my toilet wont flush.

[P.]

Decide to go to the loo before heading to work rather than hold it... big mistake.

My toilet now refuses to flush and makes this god awful screeching noises. Video being uploaded now.

There is no resistance really in the "pull me to flush yo shit" lever and yeah... the video pretty much explains it all.

Driving me crazy. Video will be up in a minute so I'll link that!

Take the cistern lid off and tell us what type of arrangement there is in there. Even better, a pic.

Is the cat still in the house - could be a blockage

Pour a bucket of water down the toilet to 'flush' it and then you can worry about the flush mechanism some other time.

If the god awful screeching noises and refusal to flush are because of your shit then that's some nice work.

Jesus christ Paddy, what have you been eating

It sounds like your flushing mechanism may of just either come apart or broken. There should be some form of "plug" you can pull up to make the toilet flush.

Buggered syphon diaphram.

That torbeck valve should have bag on the end of the outlet so it fills silently below the water level - but that's not your problem

The syphon is buggered. Needs replacing. I'd replace both anyway.

Ah, grande. Suppose I need to find model numbers or something equivalent? Is it something I can do rather than giving it to the nice plumber/fix everything guy?

Looks too loose to be the diaphragm?

Normally if the diaphragm is split you can just about flush it once you get the rhythm right; a bit like kick starting an old 2 stroke you have to do each consecutive kick in time with the engine rotation! Seems more like something bust completely.

Which may or may not be covered by replacing the whole blue topped syphon pot thingy.

[P.]

Would me adding water to the bowl allow it to flush or do I need to find a way of fishing out that god forsaken chunk of cadburys?

[ride_to_die]

adding water will make your turd disappear....in theory...not if its of the King Kongs finger variety.

If you chuck a bucket of water down there you're essentially flushing it anyway - That's all pushing the handle does, chucks a load of water down there

Had I known this, I wouldn't have let it fester. It is likely to have arms and have learnt how to communicate by the time I return.

Replacing all the parts in the cistern costs next to nothing.

In my oppinion, it's not really worth fiddling about about fixing bits and pieces of it. If one part has let-go, the others are probably due to go the same way soon.
