I have fitted a toilet were the siphon doesn't line up corrected with the cistern lid so won't fit the push button.

Even adjusted as fa as it will go it won't a line with the cistern lid / push button any ideas?

If the siphon was supplied with the cistern it should fit unless you have fitted it wrong.otherwise you need a different siphon. Ie one with cord to push button

Seems odd. You could fit a Fluidmaster with the push button on the end of a cable.

Can't see what else you can do. The location of the valve is dictated by the hole in the bottom of cistern. Even turning the valve throgh 180 deg. looks like it will make the situation worse.

I would contact the supplier, and see what they can do for you. Cable controlled looks like your only option if you're keeping it.

And a bucket of water to flush in the meantime.

Yes I will contact the supplier

Check that the flushing siphon isn't crocked, like cross threadlike, a bit off, on the mounting hole. Like you turn and click in.

I once had this problem with one of those B&Queue to go toilets. I found that the base of the cistern was not manufactured perpendicular to the sides so the valve was misaligned at the top.
