well Simon, it sounds like you have the electrical figured out. as to the toilet, it appears to me that someone put new parts in the tank in an attempt to fix the same problem that you are having with it. the secret is that cheap toilets are sometimes worthless pieces of shit. what ever you do, don't buy an American standard toilet. they are absolutely worthless.
325's advice about buying the 90.00 unit at Sams club is probably sound. I have never used that one personally, but if he has used several of them with great results, that would be good enough for me. Personally, I usually just go to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and buy a used Kohler or Toto. they literally make the best. if I am in a rush, I buy a new Kohler from Lowes or Home Depot. I do think the Sams club toilet will make all your wildest dreams come true. you can install it yourself by watching a vid or two on youtube.
so replace the toilet. if it still has a problem flushing, the issue is probably your vent system. I did a flip one where there was a dead rat stuck in the vent pipe causing a toidie to get stuck.
congratulations on your new place. same goes for you NickS. it really sucks to buy real estate in such expensive markets as you guys live. my wife and I are thinking about moving to Austin which is about the same but perhaps a little less.
