    How to take lid off a dual flush cistern?

    Thanks everybody. It did unscrew - ended up jamming a screwdriver in beside the big button to get enough leverage. Took filler mechanism to pieces and cleaned out, but still takes 20+ minutes to fill despite good H2O supply. Think the little insert may be torn. Can you get spares (like...
