Loo cistern (vintage 80s, 90s?) fills & cuts off normally. It used to do a fine job but recently began flushing only about 30% of the time.
When it does flush it is perfect. The rest of the time you depress the handle and it goes down normally but only about a cupful of water comes out into the pan. On inspection the water level is normal and nothing apears to be wrong but - the water doesn't come down. I have adjusted the water level (with the adjusting and locking nuts) to be as high as it can be without water running down the overflow.
I haven't figured out yet how to post a photo of the flush innards on here but does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try adjusting or replacing? Thanks; I'm tired of flushing with the 2-litre kitchen jug!
