Toilets:
In the past week ours has started having trouble flushing. Takes a good vigorous back and forth (euph) for it to drain. I opened it up and saw the lever arm looked a bit fractured so replaced that but it still doesn't work so am I right in thinking it's likely the diaphragm inside the siphon? If so how do I replace that? I need to drain the cistern right? But it's an old toilet with these as the only points of entry/exit for water:
Can't see any valves unless it's the latter one but that doesn't seem right :/
Presumably the cold water is coming from a tank in the attic so I'd need to get up there and turn it off?
This looks like a complete ball ache.
