Cistern water flowing to fill but going straight into pan

Excellent. Thanks all. The current flush valve has siamp stamped on it. Looking at pics I am pretty sure it's a 33a. I will get a washer and give it all a clean.

To be fair - it's been in there over 20 years and this is the first fault. Ive changed the inlet balve once and cleaned the seat a couple of times. So I am happy to replacethe flush valve like for like especially as it should avoid me dismantling the toilet.

Another thing to avoid is in-cistern cleaners. They cause diaphragm failure.

The high quality ones last and set up correctly give the same size flush as an old fashioned Syphon

The only issue is with cheap nasty ones

The old house had horrendous hard water, fitted fluid masters and never had an issue. Also made plenty of money fitting them for customers, initial thinking was they are easy to swap if they fail but never had to go back to one

I like Fluid Master stuff. Although I have only used their fill valves. Worth the extra money IMO.
