Dripping toilet cistern

[thesmoothound]

Hi,
My toilet cistern has started dripping from the inlet valve. It flushes fine but once at level starts dripping.
Thank you

What type of inlet valve is it, there should be some sort of adjustment built in or it could be grit stopping the valve from fully closing .

Thanks for quick reply. The drip has now turned into a steady stream. Attached is photo. Thanks

Can you adjust the float at the end of the arm ?

If you lift the arm does the water stop running ?

The water continues when I lift the arm.up.

With The old Style one could change the washer, but time and effort its cheaper to fit a new valve .

A Fluidmaster with Brass Shank will do the job .
