Toilet has started to continually flush

I had a Vernon Tutbury top button flush wc installed about two years and have had no problems until recently... now you continually hear a slight hissing of water from the cistern and tricles of water are dribbling down the pan. Anyone any ideas what's went wrong- needs to be replaced.

It's either overflowing (internally, assuming no external overflow (progress)) or the valve which lets the water out for the flush is leaking. There are lots of different mechanisms these days, but they all boil down to a bit of rubber making the seal, which you just have to find..

It's trying to be a Jacuzzi!

Chrishutt- I think your being serious, as the wc is made by Jacuzzi UK

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but did you get to the bottom of the problem?

I have a similar problem with my toilet, so I was hoping for some pointers...

Thanks

Most likely to be the flush washer on the outlet - they tend to get a bit stiff/manky and this prevents them making a good seal. Consequence is the cistern gently drains down , then the inlet valve opens to top it up - if you're really lucky thats when the pipes start singing because the inlet valve is being held just open at equilibrium- this normally happens at 3 in the morning

The flush mechanism may well be made by another company - Wirquin seem popular - which is why the washers are available in the sheds (B&Q). If you're really lucky the flush mechanism is held in place with lugs on a framwork - all it needs is a twist (bayonet type fitting) and the whole assembly comes out in one piece which makes renoewing the washer a lot easier!
