I have installed a new en suite, tiles etc and am quite happy, however I am having a problem with the basin.

I can’t get it onto the wall properly. There are only two screws underneath, with limited space to get a screwdriver in as it is. There was a pair of wall plugs with it, but as it is not going onto a solid wall, (false wall with the waste pipes behind) I have used the metal plasterboard screw in plugs and screws. I can not get a screwdriver in so am using a poz bit in a socket and using a ratchet to tighten it. I can get it so tight then no more, but the basin still is able to wobble up and down at each side. I have already spent ages on this, and it is really starting to p**s me off…

Do you guys have any ideas, or alternative way of fixing this dam sink to the wall? The old sink was just raw plugged, when I took it off the plugs came out with my fingers, however it didn’t move on the wall….
