Noisy and leaking toilet

[gaz1234]

Have spent quite some time on this now!

Toilet started making squeeking and vibrating noises from the ball cock (think that what you call it) and valve area. Recently caused after the cold taps have been turned off after being on hard and long.
If the ball cock arm was held up by hand and taps turned on and off then the noise goes away, so, i replaced the ball cock unit (torbex i think) and the noise went away (each time for a few hours or day). Now, today the vibrating noise has gone but there is a contant squeeking noise again coming from the tobex unit (bottom entry) and not sure what to try. Ideas?

I've adjusted the value by the toilet and the main cold tap but the noise wont go.
Also there has always been small amounts of water coming out of the top of the 2x torbex units in the toilet and a small amount constantly dripping into the toilet basin.

Woudl it be worth buying a better torbex unit or getting a better plumber (already had one who kept saying its an air lock). He was adamant that i needed to use the High Pressure valve in the torbex which i did. Would it be worth using the LP one?

Probably available in B&Q, or if not, then any plumbers merchants. Take your old one with you to check size.

Think that the leaking flush mechanism is the real culprit - since the water level is always dropping, the torbeck will never fully shut off, hence the squeaking.
