Hi everyone,
The inlet valve in my toilet flush system is faulty and leaking water constantly no matter how I adjust the screw. Most likely worn out

I'd rather not change the whole system as I'll be refurbishing the bathroom in less than a year.

Would anyone help me source the right item to change the inlet valve (ball cock) and (float ball)? I believe there are different sizes for flush system

Hope his dimension helps: 41x33cm (size of my cistern)

If not possible, can I change the flush system without removing the cistern? is the valve connecting the pipe to cistern universal?

Thank you very much

flexi hose or copper pipe connection at the bottom.
The threads can be a different length causing a problem with copper pipe as the length is set making swapping more difficult.
Maybe just fit a new rubber washer to valve.
You will need to remove rubber and match up
 
Likely the diaphragm washer has failed, couple of quid for a pack of 10.
 
Thanks everyone. Totally make sense.

Any chance I could source it without taking it apart first and checking the washer?

It's Dudley turbo system


Would this work. or it's a Diaphragm washer?

If it can be pointed out. I'll take it off and try to visually match it.
 
That link is to the flush valve (syphon) spare parts. https://thomasdudley.co.uk/images/pdf_instructions/Dudley Turbo 88 Instructions.pdf

That is NOT the water INLET valve that you need to dismantle to identify the part needed.

It might be a Thomas Dudley inlet https://www.thomasdudley.co.uk/plumbing/category/inlet-valves/
