Correct, thank you, but (stupid as I am) I thought "short pull" means turning the handle just half way, or something. I didn't think you meant all the way down and then RELEASING the handle immediately. I thought only cisterns with a button on the top work like that (two different flushes).

I want to thank you all for your help, but it looks like I found the solution, and it's one that makes me feel stupid: I did NOT (!) know that if you pull the handle down and hold it down, the flush stops earlier (at a higher level). To have a full flush, you have to pull the handle down, but...

If you mean the hole that is closest to the chain, (please, see the picture), it wasn't plugged before — and the flush was normal. The holes that stop the flush are on the left side, close to the bottom, and they are unplugged (the flush was stopping there). Now it's stopping at a much higher...

I don't know what you mean with "blanking caps", but if you mean the little red caps on the holes you see on the original picture above, there are no caps. The little holes on the side (to make the flushing stop at that level) are all unplugged.

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with how I pull. The flushing process stopping earlier started after I flushed 2 or 3 times with a low water level (it was all I did). I don't know what changed inside the siphon/valve. The cistern fills up normally, I flush normally, but now...

Yes. As before.

Thanks, but that hole (the red arrow on the picture) has always been open (unplugged). I didn't touch it (I don't even have any plug for it). The picture I attached is from Amazon and that hole comes unplugged. So, maybe it's supposed to stay unplugged?

Thanks, but can the float arm stop the siphon from flushing? I don't see the connection. The problem is when I flush the water goes down, but the flushing process now stops earlier than before. No problem with the cistern being filled. It's just the flush that stops too soon now, but I don't...

Hello! I was checking something in the toilet cistern. I flushed, but holding the float ball, so the cistern wouldn't be filled. With a very low level of water in the cistern, I flushed a couple of times. Then I let go of the float ball and the cistern was filled. I didn't do or change...
