Ok, I missed a lot of junior school but we didn't do a lot of plumbing any way. I don't think I understand the principal bt turning the water pressure down appears to have stopped the problem so I'm happy. Thanks for the help.

Hi yet again, in other words the little hole on the side of the plastic syphon has to remain uncovered by water for a few seconds to let air in and put pressure on it? Am I right? So slowing the water intake should do this. Thanks, it has worked for the first few flushes, time will tell.

Hi again, Thanks for the ideas. I think I've not described the symptoms well enough. The syphon has not been replaced but I did replace the flaot valve to silence it and stop it dripping. This aspect has now worked fine. The set up is the only kind I've ever seen in oldish toilet, float...

Hi People, set up is a tradition lever type but does have an external overflow pipe. The valve to let to refill the cysten is working fine but doesn't get a chance to stop the water as the thing starts flushing again before the cysten refills. Have I got a ghost?

Hi, On flushing my WC sometimes decides to keep going, it isn't that the water trickles into the pan after a flush , rather it restarts the whole flushing procedure again. Which bit do yo reckon I need to replace?
