Do I need to replace whole cistern re leak?

[dena007]

Hi,

My upstairs loo keeps overflowing. It continually drips until level of water in cistern overflows.

I have replaced the washer, have adjusted the arm of the ballcock to different levels, but, it continues to drip.

Do you think I should now look at replacing the whole thing?

Thank you

Ooooh I should say. Course we'll have to change the rest of the bathroom to match, and the tiles will have to go and you could do with a new shower anyway. Suppose it's fed by some old knackered heating system...?

Or you could change the ballvalve
