Cistern drip

No it does not stop where is the valve ? thankyou
do you mean the ball valve as i have fitted a new diaphragm to that
thanks will refit and reclean
Have cleaned refitted diaphragm still drips one drip per 8 secs. is there any other part of the valve area that can leak ?
please note the parts are plastic not brass . it is called a side inlet fill valve .
I've given up putting new diaphragms on plastic ball valves in toilet cisterns. Have tried several different makes of diaphragm, but with little success.
For 3 quid at screwfix for a new valve, its not worth messing around with.
