Hi, I have a constant leak into the toilet pan (from the internal overflow I think). Its quite bad and the water just pours in. I have to keep the water turned off at the screw at the back).
I tried to adjust the plastic screw to raise the flush valve (slightly above the cistern water level) without success and I have also unscrewed the top of the flush valve and changed the "diaphragm" washer. Unfortunately this hasnt made any difference even though the washer was split all the way around. From what I've read, I think the internal bit may be called a "torbeck" system.
I also unscrewed the flush assembly and cleaned the rubber seal (which looked ok just a bit dirty). From reading posts I dont think the problem is the "flapper valve" but the internal overflow thing.
As you may have gathered I havent a clue about plumbing but am fed up of waiting for the plumber who never arrives. I would be very grateful for any help. I will try and attached a pic of the internal bit of the cistern. Thanks.
