Hi all, apologies in advance for my ignorance. I have an old style toilet with what I've researched is a ballcock. The toilet was screaming every time we flushed so I googled and found it was the diaphragm valve that needed replaced.

I bought a pack of diaphragm seals and attempted to change it myself (age 52 woman with absolutely no skills) unfortunately I didn't turn the water off and the whole thing blew apart. I did find the shut off valve on the toilet thankfully but now I'm at a complete loss as how to put the valve in with the little white plastic part. There was a small red plastic part that was floating in the cistern too, I presumed that actually came off the red plastic float ball.

Please I know I sound really stupid but if anyone could help, I would be really grateful. Thank you.
 
White plastic and red plastic parts are more than likely different nozzles for different pressures. If so, you'll only need one.

Are you asking how to replace this or re-assemble it?

Does it look like this:

Can you post photo's of where you're up to?

Hi thanks for replying. I'm needing help in reattaching them as every configuration I've tried doesn't work. I've attached photos. Thank you so much.

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
