Hi, I have fitted a new one and this hasnt really helped, Ive fiddled about with it and this hasnt really helped so now im completely stuck! Its a closed coupled toilet with an oval shaped push button flush, it flushes ok now but I cant stop the water from trickly into the pan continually. Any help would be magic! P.s. its not overflowing
Blue & Orange syphon not shutting off properly....Help!

A picture would help enormously. 
if it's still flowing in to the pan then its either not shutting fully or the seal at the bottom is faulty.
did you check/clean the bottom part of the flush valve where the seal sits
when you fitted the new one ?
what make/model is the flush valve ?
sounds like a multikwik

Hi, I stupidly didnt take any pictures and dont know the name of it... It has a blue pole type thing in the middle that pushed up through a white circle and circled around the blue pole is a yellow cup, it also has a sort of float vale type looking upside down cup thing attached near the bottom and at either side two white poles - this is where you can unclip it and change it without taking the cistern off - best I can do im afraid. I did take it aprt and clean it all and the cistern as this is what I thought it could be down to....When I replaced it, I just unclipped it and left the bottom part in there but have since taken that all off to clean and tighten just to check its not that that was faulty

I think youll find it is overflowing modern w'cs are designed to flow in to the pan !!!!!
adjust the height of water by adjusting the float valve.

The reason I say its not overflowing isit happens when the water level is no where near the over flow pipe.....help!

Too slow????
does it still leak if operated with the lid off ?
Yes it does, its not the button pushing down on it.
did you get the cistern part aswell the base ?
What you can see in the above picture is all i got, so the cradle that it sits in was not replaced.
not being the best of valves around, i had alot of greif with one before.
you say you've fitted a new one, so that counts the seal out.
all you haven't changed is the base. but then rather than chuck money at it i'd rather buy a new valve but a descent make.
