My toilet won't stop running when it's been flushed until I tap the button again at which point the running stops. I'm usually quite handy but haven't managed to work out what's going on - nothing I seem to be able to adjust makes any difference. Can someone tell me what I need to do specifically to fix this please? THanks
How to stop this toilet running?

Change the rubber on the bottom of the flush valve.

Hello Flipjango,
I have the exact same toilet. One or both of the bolts is too long touching the yellow or blue flushes. You need to make them shorter by loosening the locking nut and then turning the bolt clockwise. Once you've got the right length redo the locking nut back up to stop the bolts moving.

This is easily confirmed or eliminated by leaving the top off for a few hrs and pushing the yellow/blue buttons when flushing required.
