Thanks RPM! But I set in inflow valve to not very high. And the cistern drains itself entirely empty if I shut the water supply off. The outflow valve is clearly not properly closing, no matter what the water level is. And it’s brand new so it shouldn’t do that!Try lowering the water level in the cistern, perhaps it is too high.
It sounds like it’s the washer betweeen the bayonet cradle of the flush valve and the cistern. Was the surface seating clean, any silicone used or old silicone not removed? Was it tight enough? If it’s the new valvewasher, again check for any debris, does it do this with the cistern lid on or off?
And it doesn’t matter whether the lid is on or not.
I've just installed the same product and I'm experiencing exactly the same issuei have taken it all apart again. Washer and cradle looked pristine! And squeaky clean. And when I put the cistern back and filled it from a bucket it was ok. But after a half flush it started to leak again! I figured the plunger doesn’t come all the way down or something, and weighted it down with some tin to see if that sorted it. But no...

Edit: put another bucket in and there is water coming down from the start. So it’s not the case that all is well until you flush. Hmmm...
