Hi folks - In the process of trying to change the blue pump on my Thetford loo I have pulled out the Vacumm Breaker (well, a well meaning assistant did!)

In order to get everything back, do I need to completely remove the loo or is it possible to do everything with the loo in place - it all looks a bit tricky

Any help would be appreciated.

I can assume that your pumps not working because it's been a while since you used it ??
If that's the case if you can get to pump lift it to were you can get a small screw driver thru the bottom & try & turn the motor & try with power to see if you have un seized it !
Striped all mine out last yr only to find motor had seized & that I could have fixed thru loo paper hole !

Hope this helps Steve
