My regular plumber wasn't available so thought I'd have a go.

Long story short, flush button broken and couldn't get a compatible replacement. So I bought a Multikwik Multiflush.

To my surprise, I successfully installed it but when I flush, the cistern continues to fill.

Apparently, the height of the overflow can be adjusted but it doesn't seem to want to sit high enough. Locking the overflow also doesn't help.

Tearing out what's left of my hair wondering what I'm doing wrong and why the overflow won't do its job.

Now resolved. Thanks for the replies. No idea what the deal was. Slightly tightened the hose connector to the Fluidmaster and it started working as it should. Slight weeping from the underside of the cistern where the fluidmaster comes through but I can live with that for now.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
