Cistern won't stop filling...

at a last result but i would strip it down and put it back together.
and remove the float arm and check the little black rubber and the surface it shuts on is clean.

Ok, will try that tomorrow night now - had two beers already and the kids need to go to bed.
Thank-you for your time though! Much appreciated Seco.

As said already. Undo the blue nut and make sure the little pin is where it should be.

Took blue nut off. Not sure what i'm looking for, although nothing looks broken, snapped or split.

Looks like i have to take it back to Wickes....although they only do the one type i think...

anyone recommend a make/model that will work?

 

[seco services]

the fluidmaster is the next one i would go for.
wickes do these.

this is how yours should fit together.

where can i get those from? Wickes? B&Q? TP?

And how much would you expect to pay - as a punter, not trade!?

 

[seco services]

wickes and screwfix are doing them about £9 i think i see them for.

£9.78 in the book

incidentally, i have water coming out of the square (window shaped) thing at the top... is that normal?

 

[seco services]

only be a drip or so.
thats normal.

if you get the fluid master, it might be worth going for the brass shanked version. Less chance of any cross threading issues.

yes might aswell at the same price.
i know screwfix do the brass one not sure on wickes.

couldn't agree anymore, better purchase on tightening as well.

Thank-you gents, i'll get on with it tomorrow and report back.

Right, got the fluidmaster (thanks Seco) from Wickes, fitted it tonight.... and it works a treat!! Smaller, quieter, and three quid cheaper!!!

Thanks again gents for your time talking me through this!
