toilet cistern

Hi all, My toilet is constantly running (not a lot - but it means that every couple of hours the cistern noisily refills which is disturbing us during the night). There's a front panel which gives me access to the cistern but, I can't get in to the top of the cistern in order to change...

Hi all My cistern started making an droning noise a month or so back when filling, now, it's louder when refilling after flushing and it's regularly refilling by itself... very early in the morning. Is it the 'float' device that's faulty or the flush valve? Or would you normally replace both? TIA
