its probably the plastic flap inside the syphon you might as well fit a new syphon or better a flapper valve or other modern flusher which will be quieter by the way it will be easier to read your posts if you use punctuation sentences and paragraphs with blank lines between them youd be surprised how much more help you get when you make it easy for people to read your question dont you agree just look at this for ex n ezr f u dnt use txspk

Most likely that the diaphragm in your siphon has split. Either replace the dia. by using the old one as a template to cut out a new one from a sheet of plastic (thicker DPM sheet or dry dog/cat food bags are ideal) - or buy a new siphon.

You will probably need to remove the cistern as it's close-coupled.

Thank you both for the advice,I have looked on tool station website and they have a flapper cistern valve, is this the item required.

yes, that would do. Like this http://www.screwfix.com/p/fluidmaster-toilet-flush-valve-handle-kit/50692
You will have to take the cistern off, so buy a new doughnut washer with the metal fixing plate and new bolts (unless this included in the flapper pack). http://www.screwfix.com/p/wc-close-coupling-kit/84958

You will probably find the old bolts are rusted into place and have to be cut with a hacksaw blade. Grease the new bolts to reduce this happening next time.

It will convert your cistern to push-button.
