Hi everyone,
I have water slowly dripping into the bowl from the cistern. I've tried adjusting the level of the fill valve with the screwdriver and then when the water pours back into the cistern (after switching the water back on) the level looks correct once it stops filling, but after 30 mins or so, the water level gets higher and higher and then ends up going over the top of the fill valve and down the overflow tube and into the cistern.
I am guessing that the fill valve needs replacing (or perhaps even the washer at the bottom of the cistern where the fill valve enters?). It's a bottom entry fill valve. Please can someone point me towards the right product(s) to buy in B&Q at https://www.diy.com/search?Ntt=fill+valve ?
Thank you for your help!
