The soil and waste has been leaking for god knows how long and have ripped a internal wall down to find leak. It is where the plastic goes into the cast. Looking for some advice on how to repair

    Darn naff building pipe into wall, but it was done a lot years ago.

    A DC1 should fit straight into the cast iron pipe where white plastic pipe is,the best plan would be replace the lot with plastic.

    If they've tried to connect a BSP adapter into that, my guess is the thread is chewed. When they dip CI, it leaves a residue in the thread. Not a prob metal to metal but it kills plastic. You need to re-tap the thread to clear out the dip before screwing in the plastic.
