Dear all, after seeing the appearance of a dreaded water mark on the living room ceiling I traced the fault to a leak where the fill valve unit goes through the cistern to join the inflow pipe (apologies if I’ve got the names wrong). I emptied the cistern and installed a new fill valve unit making sure the seal met with the hole in the bottom of the cistern. Job done I thought, nope. Drips appearing at the exit hole where the fill valve exits the cistern. I’ve tried to resitting it and still the dripping occurs. My plea, am I missing something that means the rubber seal doesn’t mate with the bottom of the cistern and therefore leaks? I’m going to have another go at resitting the flow valve but in all honesty that feels like a busted flush (no pun intended). Grateful for any help / advice. Cheers, Kevin.
PS fill valve is a fluidmaster.
PSS - leak seems to be between the plastic nut and the cistern.
