Hi, first post, and it's about a fairly common problem.
I have a push-button cistern which, almost always when you push the putton, flushes normally then leaks constantly into the bowl. I've narrowed the problem down to the button, as despite coming back up, there's no pressure behind it.
A simple but temporary fix is to press the button a few times until pressure comes back to the button, but one daughter is incapable of mastering this complex task and drives us mad with the sound of water constantly filling the tank in the attic.
I found a site which mentioned turning the screw on the fixing under the lid, but after trying a small turn there was no difference. Should I turn it further or is there another fix?
