'Running' Toilet

[chewymix]

Hi

The cistern in the loft runs after being flushed until the flush 'cable' is moved a bit at which point it stops running and starts to fill. This toilet is newish and has a cable operated flush and the fact that wobbling it slightly makes it fill i guess something is getting stuck somewhere but it does not look the most service friendly thing in the world.

Any clues as to what the issue is?

thanks

Why is the button mechanism not fitted as it should be?

because i removed it to take a photo, if i didnt the lid would not sit flush on the toilet lid and most likely fall onto the floor and damage it/floor

More likely the cable is twisting so makes it stiff in the outer cable and not running freely.
