My toilet, at the ripe young age of 6 years old, has started letting water through the cistern. It only happens on some flushes. Doesn't matter if its a half flush or full flush. It's an ideal standard toilet. I've attached pictures of it's innards.
So here are the two flush modes.
1. Push the button. Water empties and the syphon unit clunks as it closes off. No further water passes.
2. Push the button. Water empties and the syphon doesn't clunk as it closes. Water passes through slowly continuously until the next flush.
Is this repairable somehow? Or will I have to replace the syphon unit? I've replaced an old fashioned flapper syphon before but would rather not take the toilet apart if I don't need to! Somethings telling me this syphon should twist off the base but the only bit i can see that might twist off means twisting it the wrong way - it won't turn any further that way.
Thanks.
