    Blimey - I didn't see that!

    It's not one of these nasty flap-valve jobbies, is it?

    Tsk tsk.

    Imagine the sense of satisfaction that SSM will experience?!
    Agree. I swapped out a dual flush siphon in my downstairs loo. 
    If it’s apart for a little while, use a few litres of water from a bucket as a temporary flush.

    Thank you all for the replies.

    Haha I was turning the bolt clockwise, so there was no issues there! But what I was doing incorrectly was trying to loosen the bolt without the white part being tightened.

    So thank you very much NFLO, that's done the job and you've saved me time and some money! Much appreciated!

    Thanks again,
