I have had a dribbling outside overflow pipe for a few days.
I thought it was probably caused by the cistern washer so I have managed to replace it. Then I noticed the ballcock was catching on the plastic overflow pipe, and dismantled and reassembled the assembly to the right, (with the two blue plastic caps) attempting to tighten it a bit to free the ballcock, which did work. However, when I turned on the water and tested the cistern by lifting up the ballcock arm, water just kept streaming out of the outlet and I could not stop it. I tried turning the washer round in case I had inserted it the wrong way round but that hasn't worked. Now I am in a fix! Can anybody PLEASE help, and fast!
