Rayray- have you got some of that white silicone tape or plumbers tape? It will prevent any leaks. You can get it from the supermarket or $2 shop even. And just follow the instructions ie. don't install the cistern attachment first if it says to attach the hose to the wall first or whatever... for some reason it will leak like crazy if you do it the wrong way round. Or maybe that was just me...
Jess - there's classifieds here on BB.
