I am currently doing battle with ours. Have replaced the main washer which lifts up and drops down. Somehow this is still letting water through so the cistern never stays full and valve is constantly refilling (it's now worse than it was and swuesks/moans at me).
Radio 4 had a documentary explaining that probably more water has actually been lost than saved with these modern systems.
The design seems to rely on the weight of water keeping the seal firmly in place. I am considering attaching weights to the main column somehow (but then it will be harder to actually flush)
Wanted to have a moan, but any advice welcome
