    Am refitting a toilet, can I reuse the same fittings to reconnect it to the waste pipe on the wall, will it still be water tight ?or do you recommend fitting a new collar seal ? Any advice apreciated

    Only DIY advice here but your getting a new bog, so go on, do the job right and buy a new pan connector

    You may well get away with using the old one, in fact, you probably will but, they can leak once removed and refitted as the rubber seal / fins can stretch

    McAlpine connectors are always highly recommended

    Always fit a new pan connector, cheaper than having to repair the damage to the ceiling below if old one leaks.:)
